Resolution to Raise the Age Requirement for Big Game Hunting Wildlife

[Hunter gatherer]

The BCWF should be ashamed of themselves for coming up with such a resolution. Maybe propose limiting the amount of LEH draws government employees get.��

Does anyone believe that if you had to purchase a tag for successful draws it would cut down on people just throwing in draw entries with no intension of hunting. There are always rumours of the tree hugging types purchasing limited entries just to save the animals. It could be attached to the cost of the draw but refunded if you were not successful. I understand it would be more paperwork but just a thought.

Not a bad idea...everyone buy their tags earlier in the year before the draw....I know certain ppl will b itch because they may end up not hunting for that particular species when $hit happens, but overall, our cost of hunting tags is minuscule compared to most other states etc...

Thanks for posting OP... ppl should start cancelling their BCWF memberships and voicing their disgust.....

Be nice if we could figure out how to put more moose or elk in the bush instead of devolving into a this spiralling mess of removing, segment by segment, ourselves from our heritage and nature.

Exactly......starts with proper funding, which our prov govt neglects.....

The resolution was approved at the Region 1 level. What you are seeing is a notice of the resolution package that will go to the floor of the AGM in Dawson Creek for delegate approval or rejection of each resolution in the package. If you are a member of a BCWF club, you should make sure your club is discussing how the club delegates should vote on all resolutions at the AGM. The same thing goes for the direct members' club. If your club is not sending a delegate(s), they should be.

It's not the BCWF as a whole. It was proposed and will be voted on.

Why are people getting so worked up about this?

You have to be at least 12 to apply for a firearms license in this country.
How are these kids harvesting these "big game" animals?

Seems common sense to me.

A 10 year old can use a firearm and hunt under direct supervision of a licensed adult. A 10 year old can take/pass the Core course, get their own tags and a apply for LEH. Parent or legal guardian edorses the youth licence. Have a look at page 6 of the synopsis.

Now that sounds like a great idea,how many of these kids that get a draw actually shoot their game and not their Dad's.

It takes a pretty poor dad to shoot their child’s tag. Maybe you’re not a parent but from where I’m sitting it’s always been” child’s tag is their own”. I’m there to help locate,assist and pack the animal out.
