I agree with what has been said before. The easiest, most simple fix is to destroy the trophy value of ANY animal taken under subsistence hunting. Spilt the skill plate, confiscate all of it, whatever, problem solved. Bulls may still be taken but at least it won't be solely as a trophy. And then if they want a chance to take an animal and keep the antlers etc., they have to fall in line with everyone else and wait their turn. This would be so easy to implement, and it would probably give a positive boost to the image of hunting in alberta. To the antis anyways.
