I saw that email. I am a bit disapointed because it was great fun to take part in the program and was looking forward to another year of hunting brookies. Saying that, they have a point about the question of effectiveness of the program regarding the recovery of native species -which was one of the main goal.
Maybe it was worth carrying it a bit longer to have data over a longer period , but i'm not a scientist and don't have their precise knowledge to make that decision. Maybe they'll keep monitoring the species count and bring back the stewardship license in a few years?
It was fun while it lasted!
