Griz LEH

[zpruden]

I have seen some posts online about people getting a letter in the mail about their LEH getting canceled. HAs anyone received one, and does anybody know which zones have been effected?
Thanks

I received a letter. Areas 4-21, 4-22, 4-23A and B, 4-24 are all closed for grizz. There is a spring grizzly thread that has a copy of the letter posted.

due to the GO in the area?

Did he go over his quota?

[boxhitch]

no, due to climate change
quota? we don't need no steenkeen quota

I'm suspecting high mortality due to non-hunting related issues?

Prey the NDP never gets into power or you will see this for every area in the province!

Sorry for all of you who were keeping your fingers crossed, only to find out that your area leh has been canceled.

I just checked on the bc limited entry Government site. The number of permits issued for spring last year for my current leh application - 5-15 d were 24. I see that the number of permits is reduced for this spring to 14, Similarly, areas 7-23 have reduced permits for this year by up to 70% compared to last year, from 32 permits to 9 permits. I assume the Guide outfitters will not see any reduction?

[boxhitch]

of course they will.
Maybe compare the numbers over a few years as some zones saw an increase in gbear quotas to deal with the caribou issue and may have met the goal and being returned to normal levels

I had emailed asking that question and received a response that expected draw should be completed and posted on the site by the end of February.
