I urge you all to check out the website of the Resident Angler and Hunter Preservation Fund, and donate to the cause of fighting for your rights to hunt and fish in BC. Resident hunters have priority over non-residents in the allocation of game animal harvest, yet we continually get marginalized by restrictive seasons designed to grow trophy animals for guide outfitters to sell to rich foreigners.

The Guide Outfitters' Association of BC (GOABC) is actively lobbying Victoria to take away our spike/fork moose seasons, put deer on LEH in region 5, and do away with seasons designed to recruit youth/new hunters, just to name a few of their initiatives. The GOABC collects over $750,000US every year from their wealthy clients for a "non-resident hunter protection fund", with which they hire lawyers and lobbyists to pressure Victoria to restrict YOUR ability to hunt in BC.

Please check out the website www.residentpriority.ca for more details, and seriously consider donating what you can (even $5 helps!) to the fund, so that resident hunters in BC have a voice in getting their share of harvest.

Thanks!
