I think anybody moderately educated on the subject will agree that the excise taxes south of us are a huge contributor to the success of wildlife management.

However, there was a discussion on this site in the near past posing the question: would BC hunters support an excise tax in this province? The answer from a surprising majority was a flat NO.

I understand a mistrust of government money management, but if as a group we cannot get behind a proven winning strategy the future may be bleak.
