Re: How to save our awesome BC wildlife and presearve the right to hunt in BC forever
There is some good ideas in a few parts of what you said.
A lot of it, I definitely dis agree with.
Long Range hunting and Bow hunting come down to each and every individual. Do I agree people should ensure they are effective with both before ever attempting either? Yes. But I can guarantee that I personally am more effective up to 500 or 600 yards, than a lot are at 100 yards. Just speaking on personal experience.
Other than possibly on LEH, I don't think many "dink rams" are being killed. I think everyone can agree, when you go into a sheep hunt, you have more of an expectation to come home with none than one. Harvesting an 8 year old ram on the last day of the hunt is still a huge success to a lot of people and very well deserved, whether you agree with it or not.
Getting rid of the youth hunt does nothing positive for us. At a time when hunter recruitment is arguably at an all time low, the youth hunt and the ability for them to apply for their own LEH and have their own tag, brings kids into it more.
Also, hunting in Canada isn't actually our right(unless you're FN). Its our privilege, one that we don't want to lose.
That's just my opinion, but I will agree, predator management is key to helping ungulates thrive(which directly affects our ability to hunt) and sending letters and making the government aware of who we are, is very important.
