Again, trophy hunting is excluded in the agreement, this is not what they are fighting for in court.

Who is going to regulate the exclusion of trophy hunting? Fish and Wildlife is already over worked and under funded. The Metis Nation of Alberta won't have the authority to regulate it. Cougars were registered during the IMHA and if shooting a cougar behind hounds can't be prosecuted as trophy hunting, what can?
