Well said Ambush. Sounds to me like alot of guys don't want a bowhunting license because those damn bow hunters may get a few extra days afield from the knowledge gained by the license. I don't 5 bucks will restrict anyone from hunting. LOL

Im sure the BC govt would find a "valid" reason to charge triple what Alberta charges.
Just like any licence fee part of it goes back into conservation. For the species that are available in other prov BC tags are cheap in comparison so there is a savings there already.
Funny how guys think a small fee would deter people. I would place bets that if BC used more archery seasons instead of going only LEH it would be no issue. If all the areas with a high number of moose LEH gave say a 10 day any bull archery season combined with some LEH tags this added opportunity allow would justify it. This would also give opportunity for hunters beyond the sad excuse immy season with low opportunity of seeing legal game and increases the number of illegal bulls shot every year by guys trying to make a 3pt shrink.
With the legal use of crossbows in BC's archery seasons it is a lot easier for hunters to utilize an archery season than hope for an LEH in some cases.
LEH deters people and lowers hunters numbers more than anything and so do point restrictions. If BC learned to utilize archery seasons properly it actually gives more opportunity than LEH.
As I said in the other thread there is only 1 example I can think of the uses archery seasons properly and that is the southern part of region 6. I know locals in that area are happy to utilize the archery moose//GOS/LEH they have. They get opportunity to hunt moose every year with out dreaming of a 2pt or LEH.
We pay enough for tags as it is.............where as Alberta does offer advantages with longer bow season, and special areas, BC offers very little in the way of incentive for the pointy stick and string crowd. I believe it would be just another tax grab. Just like original the PAL and RPAL were one course, then they figured they could make more $$$ by splitting courses that were almost 90% over lap .........similar to rifle and archery hunting, make the two disciplines separate pursuits and charge the public accordingly, no thanks.

Its funny how just the mention of bow only opportunity strikes fear into the hearts of so many. Some people have to loose the"if I can't have it nobody can" attitude.
