I agree wholeheartedly with RJ....and another thing, regarding pitlamping, besides being obviously unsportsmanlike, dangerous and inherently stupid, how can any FN as ”stewards of the environment “, condone such abhorrent practices. Perhaps the FNs did use maybe a torch or possibly a candle, how on earth do they make the leap to million-plus candlepower lights to blind and slaughter the critters? Just because it MAY have been done historically doesn’t make it right. Our politicians have allowed this to happen because they are too scared to speak up.Politically correctness wins again.
At the very least, all FNs should be forced to abide by all safety and sportsmanship rules
I fear it’s too late for non FN hunters , our only hope may be in organizing and lobbying....
curly top....I don’t tend to take second and third hand gossip as a fact.
I’m sure you’re completely up to date on all provincial wildlife issues and know for a fact FNs are taking more than their share.
I will bet you that if FNs give a number as to what their true harvest is that all harvest opportunities from the non FN hunters take a cut.
You might not like what you ask for.
Be nice to see your facts that you’re stating posted up.....otherwise it’s just more BS being peddled.
f350ps.....no high horse here.
I have no doubt that curly is passionate about wildlife and hunting.
He’s not alone.
His time would be better spent ensuring we have abundant wildlife for all instead of bitching about someone being able to do something he can’t.
Kind of like scrapping over the cookie jar.
That mentality of taking them now and peeing on future generations knows no race.
A fellow who has hunted this area for years was very miffed this year as restrictions have been put on all but 5 sideroads for no vehicles. Granted, he and his partner are in their 70's but are financially well off and don't ned the meat to survive. I offered for them to hunt our property as I can't see the government having any restrictions on private land to drive to spot x and hike or call from there. A couple days later they asked if they could bring their quads ( illegal in 5-12) and an Indian to call for them. I told them to bring their quads and if they were caught I would say they were trespassing and that I had spent 10 years educating the local Indians that our land is off limits and there was no way he was going to bring one back.
They were quite miffed with my answer and my offer won't be repeated.
They aren't the only ones I have seen bend the rules or blatently break them. The Indians aren't the only ones with the entitlement mentality. Have met just as many more who respect the rules and the wildlife as should be.
There is nothing wrong with FN reporting their harvest and in recent years some nations have taken it upon themselves to census their members on their annual harvest, these numbers are shared with the Province who can then put real numbers to what is harvested rather than the province underestimating that harvest, which was historically the case.
Another FN has taken it one step further and enacted regulations and allocation to their members as well as mandatory reporting while respecting their individual indigenous rights, promoting that those rights do not come without responsibility.
I also wanted to mention that the signage we see in different areas that illustrates the impacts of shooting one cow in comparison to shooting a bull are huge as far as education for sustainability goes. Many living in poor economic conditions, that rely on hunting and fishing to survive and may be somewhat illiterate or not educated can understand what is being depicted on those signs.
Finally, in the case of the Tsihlqot'in who signed an accord with the Province for co-management of moose in which it is stated that one of the results of the accord will be a co-developed and co-hosted moose roundtable workshop with the goal of bringing representatives of neighboring Indigenous nations and stakeholders who wish to constructively engage in finding solutions to the moose decline in the region. Now if this isn't an invite to participate or even meet with TNG to discuss paths forward then I don't know what is.
Probably more than you were asking for but hope it helps somewhat.
I was personally invited to the first meeting you mention by my friend Joe Alphonse. I thought it was really going to be a good thing with neighbors working together towards a common goal until a lawyer stood up at the end and began a dialog that put a wedge deeper between natives and non natives. I won't support that mentality, we are all Canadians.
