The Metis are originally half French and First Nation......therefore they deserve more hunting and fishing rights then the white man. If they want a trophy or a non trophy then that should be their right. If they want to travel from Medicine Hat to High Level and hunt, then that should be their right. We the white man took away their natural rights (the right to live, where they want and how they want-the right to hunt and fish) through white laws, warfare and forced onto reservations. It's time they fought back and rightly so. If you are so worried about your trophies then continue your "fish in a barrel hunt" in Africa on someone else's dime. The white man has had their way long enough. Study pre and post confederation history......you might learn something for a change Schwanky instead of thinking of me, me, me.
