The ABA executive and president's continued refusal to provide an answer is troubling. It is not a difficult question.
The ABA exec. have not been truthful in their explanation of the ABA Spear/Atlatl ban proposal nor will they now express their position regarding these weapons at the upcoming AGMAG meetings. There is a lot of deception occurring at the hands of the ABA exec. and I find this both insulting to the Alberta hunting community and dangerous to the AGMAG process.
I have and will continue to offer support to the ABA through providing detailed research of hunting data that will offer greater opportunity for the bowhunting community. Since I started this thread, I have provided ABA associate groups new research that the ABA can use to strengthen a case for increased bowhunting allowable harvest. My agenda here is not against the ABA as a group nor most of the objectives of the ABA. Please note when I use the term ABA Executive, not ABA. I do this to make the distinction between what the executives are independently doing opposed to the putting the weight of these actions on the ABA membership.

Can u explain what deception took place at the hands of the ABA executive . If your correct in saying ABA is the only opposition, then the decision will be left up to srd after all the stake holders submit their responses, and should be favorable.
