Maybe we should organize a group resident hunting trip up that way. It would be fun. I loved boat hunts out of Rupert. Hunting, crabbing, prawning and some fishing.

Next they will be buying fishing quota.

I wondered why ENGo's don't do more of this, but then i thought that once they buy it, they are left with nothing to protest

You can't justify a $ 250 K salary if there is nothing to protest.

Robin Unrau is correct. This is nothing but a SCAM.
A scam supported by the current provincial government.
Hunting concessions in the Province mandate that the controlling interest offer and engage in actual hunts - or lose the concession.
The province is well aware of this, yet still support it.

Beyond SAD!

With the province & fed help that is:
