And they're specifically starting to focus on Bighorn Sheep and Elk by trying to portray them as only being hunted as "trophy" animals, rather than for food.

    Are you a hunter? What animal(s) do you like to hunt? And can you please elaborate on what inaccuracies you've identified in the letter?

    Thanks. Hope you're having a great day
    Obviously you don't have him on the "Ignore" list like so many already have done.
    Trust the rest of us, it is much simpler to do that then try to "figure him out".
    That would be a waste of time, so do like the rest of us, that is why the button exists

    Re: Calling all hunters - defend your right to hunt

    So, i did my part, and this is what i got back from Heyman's office.
    Now, remind me, but haven't we for about 30 years now "always had 10 million$ go into habitat conservation"!!???
    So, there is nothing "new" about this money....correct??
    AND, even if it was "new funding $", 10 million "wont do sweet F'all" for wildlife.
    Heyman is the biggest BS'er we have in the NDP right now, and he is in charge of Environment.
    Anyways, here is the "letter" i got back from his office:

    Thank you for writing to our community office to express your concerns about wildlife management and policies affecting hunters.

    Hunting and trapping are an important part of the lives of many British Columbians. Opportunities for licensed harvest, founded based on sound scientific principles, are only provided where such activities are biologically sustainable. Under no circumstances does the BC government allow hunting that threatens the conservation of any species, nor does it condone unethical hunting practices.

    Wildlife harvest is managed on a four-tiered system; the top priority is conservation, the second priority is ensuring constitutional obligations to First Nations, the third priority is resident licensed hunters, and the fourth priority is for non-resident licensed hunters. Hunting regulations require that all licensed hunters remove the edible portions of meat, including that from predators like cougar and black bear. For some species (e.g., wolf, lynx and bobcat), the hunter must remove the edible portions or the hide and may remove both.

    On August 28, 2020, the Province announced the final Together for Wildlife Strategy, which was the culmination of work under the mandate to “improve wildlife management and habitat conservation and collaborate with stakeholders to develop short and long-term strategies to manage BC's wildlife resources.” The Strategy outlines five goals and 24 actions that together support the vision “wildlife and their habitats thrive, are resilient, and support and enrich the lives of all British Columbians.”

    To support implementation of the Strategy a budget of up to $10M per year is committed, the approximate annual revenue from wildlife hunting and permit revenue, in additional to the regular program budget. A Minister’s Wildlife Advisory Council was established to oversee implementation of the Strategy, as well as provide advice to the Minister on important issues related to wildlife stewardship and habitat conservation including ways to improve funding models.

    Kind regards and thank you again for writing,

    For inaccuracies there is the one about certain animals not declining from hunting, and that predator populations have exploded provience wide and that certain animals are hunted because of a sought after source of protein.
    Well when the anti's win and you can't spend your precious 100 days hunting cats, remember this thread
