More information on future hunting in the Castle

[Joe Black]

interesting wording in the following. They definitely differentiate between the Wildland and Provincial parks, with the provincial park's future hunting opportunities being most vague at this time. First time i have seen "restrictions" in any public documents.

my take is, smoke em while you got em.



How and where will hunting be permitted in the Castle parks?

Like all Wildland Provincial Parks, hunting will continue to be permitted in the Castle Wildland Provincial Park under current regulations. These same regulations will also apply to Castle Provincial Park in the short term, including the 2017 hunting season.


In the longer term, a review will be undertaken to determine wildlife management priorities in the Castle Provincial Park. This review will likely lead to a tailored plan (and may include a wildlife management unit with specific allocations) to meet conservation objectives in the park. While some restrictions may be introduced, hunting will remain an important tool for managing wildlife populations.

The old divide and conquer trick is being put into play.

Allow hunting in 2017, record all complaints against hunters during 2017, decide at the consultation that the 2018 season will not exist.

The government destroys our privileges with baby steps.

One can only guess now that ohvs will be out at the end of 2017, it could be easy too slowly pick away at Harvesting and fishing.

Doo Noo.

Maybe they will pick away at it with limited harvest ttime& fishing time restrictions, what ever the GoA decides, it will be less instead of more.

Let's hope for the best in the long hual.

Blue Rapids.

My comments are based on the summary ,page 35?

i can see the park area going to a Kananaskis model with draws and guiding allocations.
