At least they didn't spin it or mince words.

Agree with everything else you said Ken.
And doubt the sincerity of the words in the latter article.
Private hunting grounds are the target, while continuing to accept bribes and royalties (which they always have) for the very basis of their court claims. Called having your cake and eating it too, all the while spitefully spitting in the face of your neighbors IMO.

Cheers,

Of the dozens of letters & Emails I sent out in this regard, the only one that responded was Heyman:





My response:


You are the Minister of ENVIRONMENT!!
The BC Supreme Court Case which initiated these draconian actions by your party was focused entirely upon Environmental concerns.
Period.


Your attempt to "pass the buck" in this instance is beyond infuriating.


I demand an answer as to your involvement with these matters, and further that you take immediate steps to rectify the stripping away of hunting privileges in order to continue with increased environmental degradation / destruction.


In other words: DO YOUR JOB!

Have your voice heard — another opportunity to get involved in wildlife management decisions.

The Province is seeking feedback on key elements of the draft plan including the plan’s goals & objectives as well as the proposed habitat and population management actions. In addition to the online posting and feedback, opportunities for engagement for stakeholders and communities in Northeast B.C. are scheduled to share information and provide feedback throughout the process.

My answer for additional comment:

This government has largely paid lip service to the problems and issues.

And when told by our Supreme Court to deal with habitat / environmental issues, they instead take away hunting privileges for residents, while merrily continuing to issue industrial permits with recognizable impacts to the environment.



Can we now trust them to do what is actually right for a change?

I may have missed it, but from what I read in teh proposal they talk primarily about habitat recovery and predator management, hunting restrictions are not mentioned in that document????

That part is saved for the behind-closed-doors chats.

TLDR: When are the proposed changes for moose and caribou coming in? When will we know what the government decides?

I guess it's time to buy a big chunk of land and make my own rules.

It should be soon. No LEH for '22-23, and I'm sure this 7B thing is one of the reasons. Website still says that "The 2022/23 LEH synopsis will be available on or before theopening date for 2022 Fall LEH applications".

Fingers crossed they'll back off.
