This is wildlife management by social pressure not science. The NDP has once again sold out the general public for their own gain.
This is a massive blow that completely undermines the entire science-based wildlife management model.
However, a response campaign has been organized, letters are flowing, and meetings being set up with MLA's around the Province to express our concerns. I am hopeful this will get their attention. I am also hopeful that should they try and proceed that we have legal grounds to pursue the matter further (being investigated now).

Best of luck but I think BC hunters are in for a never ending battle and facts and science won’t defend it
