The Nisga’a and other FN outfitters continue to investigate how they will run BC's ONLY Trophy Grizzly Bear Hunts:
In early November, after a flurry of heated phone calls and negotiations with the Nisga’a, minister Doug Donaldson conceded that “the proposal to end the trophy hunting of grizzly bears does not apply to First Nations who pursue their constitutional right to hunt, for food, social, or ceremonial purposes, or a treaty right. The province has advised the Nisga’a Nation that their treaty right to harvest grizzly bears will not be impacted by the proposal to end the trophy hunting of grizzly bears.” Grizzlies, it turns out, could still be hunted in the northern end of the Great Bear Rainforest.
The Nisga’a are still hammering out details on how exactly their hunt may continue.
Other First Nations and guide outfitters are weighing options too.
