    Real issue here is for the thousands of older guys that aint on this site like my Dad who has payed into this provinces wildife system his whole life the guy cant even get a paperback? He has real struggles with anything to do with computers, but I guess screw him and all the others like him hey, guess he should just learn how figure it out, not to mention they are trying to digitize everything including our money just another thing going in that direction

    Well said. I actually have a good computer and know how to use it. What I don't like is packing a bloody cell phone around all the time. I don't want to chat and text about everything I did in the last 20 minutes. Cell phones do not work worth beans where I live except in town and when I go hunting I do not want to talk on the phone anyways, nor do I want to text pictures...everyone can wait until I get home. Hunting trips years ago were a lot more fun as you played cards in the evening if you were at base camp or you just BS'd by the fire before crawling into the rack. Now they all sit around playing with their cell phones.

    How in gods name did we ever survive in the "olden days" without texting each other every five minutes or sending pictures every day? Take a Garmin gizmo or satellite phone in case of a medical emergency....other than that everything else can wait until after I get home from the hunting trip. An actual paper copy of the regs does not need a battery and it is a lot nicer to look at than peering into the screen of a cell phone.
    Everyone is entitled to voicing an opinion, as long as it is a learned one.

    The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift.

    I agree with this as well.

    There are also a few of us out there that don't carry a "smart phone", myself being one of them. I carry a "dumb phone" flip phone, not able to download a pdf copy.

    we have to adapt. cost saving is not a bad thing. we used to have LEH on papers. we have been doing fine without the paper LEH.
    Life is too short and time goes too fast. Hunt, hunt, and hunt....

    Only hunters think getting screwed over is a good thing

    Not as of yet.

    Is a delay in paper regs REALLY getting “screwed over”?? Yes, they should be available. And yes earlier, but government are idiots, and we all know this. I’m sure they’re late on painting a rainbow crosswalk somewhere too…
