Looks like BC guide outfitters are about to lose access to more land in the Great Bear Rainforest

Conservation fundraiser underway to purchase trophy hunting rights in B.C. Great Bear Rainforest (https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/conservation-fundraiser-underway-to-purchase-trophy-hunting-rights-in-b-c-great-bear-rainforest-1.5681493)

Why is this CTV News?? Leftist BS reporting!!

They must be struggling, so they go to the mainstream media to attract those who have $$$ to spare and maybe attract a few more stupid members!

Cheers

I didn't even know you could buy hunting tenures like this. It doesnt look like this was an existing outfitter lease.
Been thinking about buying some land somewhere. This method seems waaay cheaper and I could have exclusive hunting rights!
As a second thought, couldn't a group of say 20 or more like minded hunters buy land like this? Possibly even bid on this piece?

A guide/outfitters territory is generally still crown land and any BC resident has access and can hunt there

Correct me if I am wrong, do they not have minimal harvest rates to keep the guiding license? if not it reverts back to the crown for re-sale?

the eco nuts will challenge that requirement saying they are hunting them with cameras...

Used to be that way but not so much anymore. Good thing because with Covid lots of outfitters would have lost their territories.

I am not a lawyer but if anyone is ever attacked by a bear in one of these territories I would think they would have a grounds for suing Raincoast ?

​ was unaware that B.C. still had "Trophy" hunting.
