    Bowhunting License? Extended Archery Seasons? More Archery LEH's?

    As promised. So we stop hi jacking the other thread.

    Should bow hunters have to purchase a cheap license in order to find out the true numbers of bow hunters in BC?

    Should there be more more or extended bow only seasons?

    More bow only LEH's?

    No insults or cursing. If you have had more than 3 drinks please wait to respond till tomorrow

    I pay enough taxes, should we have a wilderness/camping licence to know how many people use the forests?

    I think a 5 dollar bow license would be wuite affordable and it would give the govy valuable about bowhunters.

    I have no problem paying a small fee for a bowhunting license

    No there is not a need for more archery LEH's unless it is for an area unsafe to use firearms

    If there is no conservation concern with the GOS in place do not shorten it in exchange for extended archery season

    Where it is not a conservation concern hand out less LEH tags and create an archery season. This provides more opportunity to anyone wanting to utilize this season rather than just the few drawn for a tag. Still have some tags available for LEH so those who don't want to bowhunt or cannot still get opportunity.

    This is my view on how to utilize archery seasons

    What makes you think it would end at $5, that wouldn't even cover administrative costs, the licensing fee(tax) would need to start at $15-20 just to cover costs.
    On top of that what is it the government needs to know about bow hunters that we just can't live without knowing?

    $32 base price + $10 bow fee. I think it would drive people away from bow hunting, personally.
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    Alberta bowhunting permit is $9.20 lots of other places you must buy a bowhunting permit. With proper utilization of archery seasons giving opportunity hunters don't have a problem paying it
