Y2Y Bad for Alberta Hunters
I was watching a youtube video on Willmore, as the video past the middle at 30:32 a Jason Fisher was talking about the willmore, when the words of y2y came out, I got a bad feeling, did a goggle search, and this is what I found, Y2y funds his operation, in part, why do these people trash Alberta when they can.

It's part of their MO. No use for Y2Y at all. If they had their way, there would be a buffer zone around the Rockies that no humans would be able to enter.

Alberta Backcountry Hunters and Anglers is also an arm, ( or tentacle) funded by Y2Y.

That is simply not true. I'd encourage you to meet with some of the folks involved in the organization.

I don't know if they are funded, but they certainly are on the same team.

Funny thing is there are a lot on this forum that are followers of this group.

The Y2Y statement equals a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Well funded ECO TERRORISTS!

Is there a group that supports hunting and fishing but is seriously concerned about protection of the backcountry environment?? I'm over 60 and still good with having to walk into some areas and carry or drag out what I harvest (and I'll be good with it when I'm to old to do it). Not trying to be cranky, just asking if there is such a body.

I have personally banned him at least 5x. Likely more. One wonders why he wants to peddle his poison on this forum so badly. Wolf.

Could be that other nut, Dwight Rodtka too......lol. Both of them like to hang out on the Trapping forum periodically when they just can’t help themselves from commenting on something. 
Y2Y would like to create a big zoo from Yellowstone to Yukon. BHA would like the same with a few stipulations for outdoorsmen to make them sound legit. The end game is the same for both orgs.

I don’t think so, but that bunch like to pass themselves off that way. I’m pretty sure that he was a bureaucrat at a national park.......maybe Banff?

He was big chief of Banff Park, now this retired gov worker knows everything and anything about nothing. Waste of skin.

First point made. They believe fishing and hunting is your right. FOR ABORIGINAL PEOPLE.
White Anglo Saxons be damned.
They do not want anybody(except the odd FN) on public land in the mountains. Period.
And yes, BHA has y2y as an affiliated group, or visa versa. Whatever. Both are eletist organizations.

I hope you were being cheeky when you said they "don't sound threatening to me".

Like the above shows they may not be 100% anti hunting but they definitely are not supporters of it being part of their “vision” of the Rockies.
