^^^^^I don't feel all that sorry for him to be honest, but I like to listen to the issues others face.
The truth is, the elk #'s in there are crap.
So, I can see the struggle.
I don't tend to get mixed up in someone elses business, after all, it really is his business (literally)
Only relating how it is for him.
Granted, if it was me, I sure wouldn't run my business model waiting for GBear to get to trophy status.
Hunts up there to me are just as much about Internationals being able to hunt in some incredible scenic territory that they would never
find elsewhere.
Want my honest opinion ( I generally keep that to myself as I want to be pro hunting).
I don't think the terrain is great to have a GO in some of these watersheds.
Very steep terrain.
IF they were only allowed sheep and goat and Gbear, great as the going is tough and their clients have to work their asses off to hunt them.
But, for moose and elk, the steep terrain can make it somewhat easier to sit and wait for them to just walk by.
Considering our current situation with poor management (government wise) a really good GO could do some damage to those species in
there.
But that's just how I feel, but would never base my personal opinion on what is really needed in the province.
Only based on the current situation and how bad things are managed.
In a way, no different then when we see these proposal from smart people.
They have no choice because what is really needed is not an option for them to go after.
Take whatever issue, whatever personal belief you have as to issues in BC, and it all funnels back to one source.
Lack of government support and money.
What is needed is a representative from each group in BC to just tackle that issue "alone".
Form a committee and keep pounding at Heymans door.
Not just his office door, but his own personal residence.
That guy pisses me off like no one else in the province.
