Guided hunts in BRITISH COLUMBIA

[BritishColumbiahunter]

Hello fellow hunters. If you are thinking about a guided hunt in BC Canada ....... Can I share some thing with you. Recently our local Government has decided to give Guide Outfitters huge increases to the allocation of wildlife for NonResident hunters. North America wide, the average is 5-10% for non residents. In BC, we have a huge demand for wildlife and hunting with our BC residents. We have well over 100,000 hunters that apply every year for what are called Limited Entry Hunts. Many , thousands and thousands of hunters apply for Grizz,Sheep, Elk and Moose, some NEVER TO BE DRAWN IN THEIR LIFETIME. Yet, the Government, has given up to 40% to you the non resident if you have the thousands and thousands of dollars to pay for it. Most residents of BC can't afford these hunts, but get a chance if they win a LEH draw. You as a non resident coming to BC take that right away.

We the Residents of BC ....... Ask you ...... How would you like your own resources, your own and possibly your only chance at some of these species taken away. At this time until hopefully government sits down with all parties involved to make the situation for resident hunters of BC better. We as residents believe there is a place for the Guide Industry in BC that is in line with North American standards.

Please consider taking your business to Alberta, Yukon, or Alaska at this time.

It has got so bad that even some lawyers are getting involved, so as a disclaimer, I state that these are my own opinion only, and numbers on actual facts can be found with your own effort. There is some information at BCWF.net please educate yourself on this issue before you book your hunt.

BC is a beautiful place to hunt and holiday, you will be welcomed by residents of BC, but the guide you hire, may not be so happy to see more and more resident hunters accessing the grounds they take you to hunt. This us the largest issue to ever hit the BC hunting community, and relations with guide outfitters and residents had never hit this scale before. Straight shooting to you.

Sorry but his is how the world turns. We in the states have dealt with a part of this ourselves. If a Ny'er wants to hunt Ohio hotbed he has to pay an outfitter or big dollar lease. If the Nonresident tags sell over there for the Bc DNR and bring big dollars, they will sell more. This is why land ownership was and is the biggest and best move i have ever made or a hunter can ever make.
