moe denies early resident only sheep season in region 6

[bridger]

As has been discussed at length on the site the BCWF has been asking for a two week early resident sheep season in region 6 in an effort to allow residents an opportunity to acheive our share of the allocated harvest. The MOE has now officially turned down that request.

Did MOE offer up any other alternative solutions to attempt to get the harvest split somewhere closer to "reasonable"?? Further slashing GO quotas where it's warrented??

Not surprised this was met by opposition
Both sides claim to have barriers and want them removed, yet cry foul if an idea is not fair to both equally.

Resident effort has to increase, and that will only happen with dispersal of information.

resident effort is difficult to increase with leh in most the area and there are real access issues in the skeena that cannot be overcome with more effort.

I will post the whole letter when i get it. as far as slashing quota's there is a real possibility of moe taking the guides completely off quota in 2012.

What is the MOE going to do to help residents to acheive harvest?

Taking the GO's off quota? Some will benefit and others won't as they're not acheiving their quota as it is. Good years they'll take advantage of it when they know the rams are there to be harvested .... further eroding chances residents have to acheive harvest.

it appears the only changes the moe is willing to make is to increase the leh authorizations in region 6

Hopefully residents can put a few more on the ground this year.

One thing to add, LEH zone 6-19 is being recommended for GOS/full curl for the coming season.
