Federal parks options are native hunts and or public hunts by Alberta licensed hunters. If public hunters are used they realize that Alberta wildlife management has experience in organizing these hunts and would be responsible from Alberta licensed hunters. This low cost, low responsibility plan has a chance, oh bison are also overabundant in the park and TOO expensive to move compared to a cull. so go to the 3rd meeting, listen to the radio. be reasonable with the message that hunting is a good conservation tool.

Thanks for this info. Glad the AFGA has been providing some input. Kind of strange that 2 public meetings have already been held, and nothing was mentioned till now.
