With numbers that exist and the length of time it takes to get drawn...it makes me wonder why we have an antelope hunt at all.

Perhaps we should be looking at bi-annual hunts and axing everything but resident draws until the numbers are sufficient to reduce draw wait times to every 3 or 4 years max.

To be honest...with virtually everything on a draw now... isn't it time that someone asks government whether or not a hunt industry can be supported at all...when residents have less opportunity than non-residents to hunt most species?

Its ridiculous... residents see their opportunities sold to people who have no vested interest in the province or its wildlife and have never supported it through traxes or any other tangible contribution.

The only advantage we seem to have...is that we can vote...maybe its time to remind the pointy heads in Edmonton of that.
