Hunting for non first nation people is facing a dismal future !
With various bands asserting their perceived land title rights hunters are facing blockades and harassment ! Harassment ranging from illegal road blocks, people coming into hunting camps and harassing hunters, to frank vandalism of vehicles and trailers !

To boot there is no recourse ! The RCMP wont act, the government won't act.... the BC wildlife federation is tippy toeing around the matter and hunters have nowhere to turn to even though the wildlife regulations clearly point out that it is illegal for anyone to interfere with a legal hunt ! Add to the mix the fact that less and less tags are being made available for resident hunters.

This but one part of the picture, the other is one of gun shops closing down in small communities... it becoming more and more difficult to access guns and ammo. Rod and gun clubs are under pressure with less and less people joining. Youth participation in sports like trap has fallen away ! Even archery is feeling the pressure !

totally agree.

the reason for your point three is the point two ... no action from the one representing us at the head will not lead any one to join a useless org only so far the outfitters are well organized we on the other side are not.

on another note i do not have any tv or cables since a while and live well ...

Sounds like there may be a civil war in Canada at some point in the future. Like someone said, "natives" could give a fuck about conservation if they're anything like the "natives" here in the states. Really despicable what's happening up there.
