No, my stance is/was that this was a political move by our govrnment with zero intent on preserving people or heritage, but just to gain brownie points at the cost of our wildlife.
. In the past 5 years I think I’ve shot 1 moose and 1 elk total, that alone should speak volumes as to how much I want to be able to jump in this unregulated harvesting group. I know that there are plenty of regulated hunters who have harvested a pile more than me, and I know there are some who poach. The difference is with the regulated hunters there are laws that prevent abuse under the risk of prosecution.
LaCa probably represents 90% of the Alberta Hunting population, both regulated and unregulated, but that 10% can make a big dent, as noted by JD with 5 pregnant cows being shot. It would be nice to prosecute that/those individuals.
