"BORN TO HUNT"
Foxton's Cuervo Gold "KEELA" Oct. 2004-June 2017. Always in my blind and my heart.
https://bcwf.bc.ca/vision-mission-values/Is that in the BCWF vision or mission statement ?
Isn't the Fed first and foremost a hunter and angler advocacy group?

Like John Holdstock always said...”The world is run by those that show up”. Not sure if he coined that phrase or just repeated it but it’s spot on.
But it always so much easier to do nothing and throw rocks from the outside.
I’m baffled by how so many people are on here are so ignorant this of the process of how regulation proposals become regulations.

You want a voice? Show up.

This is true....if you want a voice....show up....in person.
That said, not all regions of this province look at the organization being discussed in this thread as the end all spokesman for hunters in this province.
As the concept of regional wildlife roundtables continues to grow this becomes more and more apparent.
Show up and voice your own opinion on what needs done.....some guy living at the opposite end of the province doesnt always speak right for what goes on in your backyard.
If that took place and bow hunters were able to have crossbows removed from bow season, I would rally every single rifle hunter possible to completely eliminate any bow seasons out of spite! This purist logic is total BS. I highly caution segregation. It reminds of when snowboarding came out and all of a sudden there were ski only mountains. Those 'salivating' bow hunters need a good slap up side the head.
When you show up and try to be heard without being part of the “click” you can also be met with childish BS. Most want only “yes men” and not people with different views. Yes showing up is a big part but it’s more then that. It’s that simple if you are a follower but if you seek change now you are often in for a long battle or a popularity contest
This is common with all organizations not just the BCWF
You would not be attempting anything new there is a reason BC has almost no archery season compared to the rest of North America. But odds are you have no clue about the BS in BC regarding archery opportunities. I am not an anti crossbow guy and don’t care about there involvement in archery season.
But grab your pitch fork and giver
Reading this thread, I do wonder why a proposal such as this can even make it past "coffee talk" as it stinks badly of one group needing to get off their high horse they rode in on.
It reminds me of the guy who was on CBC radio last year slagging hunters about their big guns and big scopes, then admitting he was a bow hunter....so pure.
well guess what?.... arrows hurt.... and would rather be killed with a bullet than an arrow anyday.
I'm not saying effecting change would be easy wild one, but often in these meetings, which are generally poorly attended, gathering a half dozen like minded individuals to join you can often sway the vote. Simple democracy....bring enough folks with you to out vote those you disagree with
