There was a panic phone call about needing one dollar increase or else there would be no stock assessment. That call came from M.O.E. on the 23rd July and a response was wanted by the 31 July. BCFF was canvassing some of its clubs for a response.
I voted against it not because of the dollar but because of the lack of planning and the bad precedent that it would set.
I suggested that we take a look at how much money the government gets from all licences, fish, game, guideing,trapping and to see where it is spent. If it needed more money to PROTECT and promote wildlife then it should come up with a 5 year plan and raise all licenses accordingly, be it one dollor or twenty.
