I understand this is a touchy subject. But it does make a difference to the businesses in small towns. It’s going on six years now that myself and numerous friends haven’t been drawn to hunt whitetail in Saskatchewan. Whichever small town we stayed in, the hotel and restaurant owners always thanked us for the business and hoped we would come back the following year. These rooms would be basically empty if it wasn’t for non resident Canadian hunters. I don’t now what the solution is, but I sure do miss hunting in Saskatchewan. I would also miss not going to Alberta. Even though it is a 18 hr drive one way for me. I will say if the population drops then tags must be reduced and I wouldn’t expect to get a tag over a resident of that province.
