Sweeping Changes to B.C.’s Wildlife Allocations

Camille Atebe·December 10, 2014

Sweeping changes to B.C.’s Wildlife Allocation Policy proposed by the Guide-Outfitters Association of B.C. would dramatically reduce residents’ access to wild game and increase the number of permits sold to foreign big game trophy hunters, according to the B.C.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations engaged over 2500 hunters in a telephone survey early in 2013.
