Exactly! Knowledge is the key. I know quite a few people that would be happy just to be able to pop a mule doe - we have been taking advantage of the white tail doe seasons here in region 8 and quite a few are pretty happy with being able to take one!
I m all for whatever keeps a healthy critter population of any kind!

Increasing funds for wildlife management in B.C. is certainly one of BCWF's main focuses - we have been in the ear of government for years on this issue. Returning all license fees from hunting and angling to the management of the resources remains one of the most common issues that we bring up in meetings with government.

When comparing funding between bc and Washington remember they have about twice the population in less than half the area. That means a larger tax base to manage way smaller public land base.
Ultimately, the solution in bc will be some form of dedicated fees for wildlife. The current proposal is for all fishing fees to go to freshwater fisheries society. We need to have all hunting fees go to wildlife management via HCTF or similar mechanism. I would support a few bucks more per tag if it went directly to management.
