Well, you have an awful lot of faith in the Alberta Government, must be the great track record. Anti hunter sentiment is tough to take when your a good steward of the land, not poaching, having bon fires, shooting up road signs etc and getting grief for what the bad ones do. A pro active government who cares about its voters would offer up a tag surrender program with point returns to alleviate phone calls to stressed land owners, resulting in decreased activity in high risk areas. Closures are still not jiving with the ministers orders from Sept 4, and there have been no official changes, yet other areas are being closed by local offices... how that for communication!
