    Exactly. So why keep it at a just 10 day 6 pt trophy season?

    Ask Boxhitch.

    Oooopps, looks like he already said it.

    "But yes, a ten day trophy season is over-restrictive and politically driven."

    As I dont chase sheep, and do chase Elk I would, and for very self serving reasons say let the Elk expand and procreate like crazy. Now before I get shot for that view, let me just say that is of course from a self serving point of view. But then again how many people who are pro-sheep would suport iradication of deer from the Queen Charlotte Islands as they are not native and are impacting the natural flora.

    Or for that matter moose from many areas of BC that prior to logging held very limited populations if you are to beleive the old time trappers. So this whole province is full of expanding and shrinking populations.

    Just a bit of a rant.

    MOE would probably say something like "it is to match the same season as offered elsewhere". I doubt much more thought went into the dates than that.

    Would you say more thought should be put into it now?

    I have spent quite a lot of time up there over the last 40 years and I believe that if the ministry would do a lot of elk habitat enhancement which means burning lots of the lower slops to create more grass it would do 2 things. First give the elk herd a good boost and also relieve some of the pressure off the sheep habitat so both could prosper.

    Do you think the wolf population may prosper alongside the prospering elk population???
