It's still being called "special" license and a "management strategy" rather than admitting what it should be a -"sustainable" hunt.
It's unclear how many tags there will be and it's just plain dumb to hold the hunt in the middle of winter again.
Still it's a start.
Now if SRD would get it's head out of it's assets, acknowledge the popularity of the hunt and begin a program to transfer more Elk Island woodies to other suitable oil patch habitat (Swan Hills, Fox Creek, Martin Hills, etc. etc.) we would have another highly desirable big game animal to pursue.
Will wild boars be next?

If you draw a buff tag this year Mr Waugh then I would be happy to lend you my video camera.I am sure all of us "unethical hunters that use skidoo's and Atv's to access hunting territory and retrieve game" would be quite interested in you demonstrating the technique used in packing a whole Buff out on your back.
I would take -40 over a million swarming black fly's anyday
