We need to work with Government to hold them accountable and see real action, on the ground. And we / Gov can work with FN on the common goal, an objective of improved wildlife habitat and wildlife populations.
The point being, we need to stop following Government around like a puppy, and as the relationship between Indigenous Gov and the BC Gov shifts and evolves, we need to remain open to new concepts, new ideas and new conversations about how this/everything goes forward.
I'm not giving up. Recognized a long time ago, the continuation of the 'hunt' is a long term commitment. I only wish more hunters recognized that and remained committed to it.
If I have one position in this conversation, it is that I am appalled at the reduction of hunter opportunity on the premise of 'saving what's left'. I'm equally opposed to the misuse and shift to LEH and lost opportunity for all hunters.
I think we all agree with you on this.
