Thanks Rob (and Struthers) for some concrete numbers from the mandatory registration. This kind of data is far better than "I heard somewhere that..." kind of rumors.

I don't think any resonable politician can ignore the fact that hunters taking these trophy animals are not doing so to feed themselves and family.

I fear that Alberta hunters may be moving "the line in the sand" from "we don't agree with a special group getting special hunting rights" to "I think they should only be allowed to harvest moose,elk and deer".

I have nothing against someone who is poor and in need of meat, harvesting an animal out of "regular season" and without a "regular hunting licence" but a poor White, Asian, or African should have as much right to do so as a poor Mix/breed (Metis) or Indian.
