GOABC has a SOP doc for g/o's to use with the c-19 situation, shows how they can still operate, with restrictions.
Just like other industries, they have it covered.,
Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole
I read the document.Weak tea I'm afraid. In a bush camp, the outfitters are going to provide 1 tent per hunter in camp? Ready access to hot water for hand washing?By Work Safe B.C. standards there will need to be antiviral grade cleaning wipes or similar readily available to disinfect any shared hard surfaces after every contact. "If you are sick stay home" , o.k., if you are in the prodromal stage the infection, when you are asymptomatic but shedding virus.....
They mention "plexiglass partitions"...... in a hunting camp? cook tent? I am finding it difficult to find plan credible. Especially if a significant percentage of people in the hunting population believe the pandemic is a hoax and are unlikely to follow these recommendations.
Maybe this is about helping the outfitters keep their fees if clients question the wisdom of hunting in this fashion this season..... if a 4hr airplane flight is dangerous , infection wise, a 7-12 day hunt in bush conditions in a group of unrelated individuals from far flung communities , living in close proximity for the duration of the hunt, sounds sketchy.
With the covid numbers in the USA, Americans being the bulk of hunters I wouldn’t hold my breath on this one. Obviously any Canadian hunter will be a go if the outfitter is open
im pretty sure all non Canadian residents will have to wait till next year for guided hunts. but any Canadian resident that have purchased guided hunts are still able to do them. i know for flying out for my sheep hunt they take your temp and make your wear a mask, and after the hunt if your showing any signs of being sick that the float plane isn't allowed to pick you up as per transport BC guidelines and that STARS has to be called to airlift you out..
CANADIAN OUTFITTER SHOWCASE
Show put on by Wild TV, gives an opportunity for g/o's to reach out to Cdn hunters
First? episode had a couple of BC g/o's and then others from east
Advertising looked like Koehler created the idea, kudos if thats the case

No legal "requirements" .... merely recommendations. Just be smart is all ...
