CWD reported within 50 km of the BC border

[bownut]

I gave you a kick because you made false assertions stating that "I just found out that another big cull will happen in Alberta this year".

Through private messages I learned that you didn't know anything about confirmed changes to Alberta's CWD management plans.... just spreading rumours as "fact".

Credibility destroyed....

OK then.
I was informed at a wildlife meeting about some changes and thought you could look into it for me. Now I can rest knowing that we are in good shape.
Thanks again for all the wisdom I have gained on this site.
Cheers!

We spend next to nothing on wildlife despite it's negative spiral downwards in this province....that is not going to change any time soon unfortunately. Many US states have thrown a lot of money and resources at CWD with no real results. They will always be way ahead of us in wildlife investment. BC is not a leader in wildlife investment, sadly we are one of the worst in reality.

I fully understand and agree^^^^
Unfortunate when we have such a great "research facility/arena" in UBC.
They have come up with many new "findings" and new ways to treat stuff.
They definetly should be used.

But, yes, without money, nothing is going to get done.
I think this thread show, "beneath it all, under the surface" to the real issue.
We all as hunters are getting "frustrated" as to our wildlife situation and the hunting oppurunties. or lack of, due to how bad it has become.
And worse than that, it is only going to get "Worse"!

IT's become a dog eat dog environment, and it shows here on HBC as to the fight we are in.
Everyone is upset, worried, and have no other outlet but to point fingers at the person next to them.
Sad part is, everyone is "bitching sideways"!!!
Not UP!!!
The guy next to us cant fix it on their own.
All we can do is "unite".
Come up with suggestions and then push to have them implemented.
Then bark up the "right tree".
HBC is a place to share ideas and experiences, past and future.

We can get on board and start pushing back.
Lots of good ideas over the years.
We just now need to get organized and push our leaders to get involved and do the "right thing/s".

You know that there is a directory of wildlife officials in Reg 8 where we both reside in right?
They should be on your speed dial if you are respected or engaged.
Yet you want to doc them
Yikes!

I had a few good meetings with our Bios this year and have left with a empty feeling every time. Craig and Andrew are doing what they can with what they have, and
I'm sorry that they are left picking up the pieces.
Respect isn't the issue here.

I am sure they would prefer their names were not dropped.

Yes cause you can't go on the gov website and find out who the bios are in Penticton...

That was my earlier post Horshur.
Many that are in public service hate when their names are dropped.
Many refer to it as doxing.

Wish to thank you once again for your valuable contributions to HBC

You have been name dropping for years..for christ sake..what does it mean to have your bios on speed dial? Living in penticton? That you hunted with one? Your doxing them by association. No shitting . .pot and kettle.

[horshur]

And they are public officials..which means they are public...ffs
