An Environmental Group is Buying Up Millions of Dollars Worth of Commercial Hunting Permits in Canada

With its purchase of a 4 million-acre "hunting tenure," the group is now the largest holder of commercial hunting rights in B.C.

I read the article and the interesting thing to me is the BC government has a "use it or lose it" rule for the hunting lease. The envirornmental group says they are "using" it, but their "hunters" are not very successful. What a joke!

This is just another way that they are trying to disrupt the hunting industry.

It is no different than when a couple of years ago they put in applications with everyone else for the grizzly permits that Wyoming was going to issue. They figured that they would just pay fee and then not hunt.

The bigger problem that I see is that hunters and sportsmen are not united enough to put forth a effort to defeat them at their own game. These so called "environmentalist", anti hunting, gun ban, and other groups are very well organized and don't mind spending the money that they do to justify the results that they get.

It is as I have said before, there are hunters out there that figure that as long as it isn't in their backyard or affects them directly they don't care.

The same with hunters and or shooters who figure that as long as they don't come after their hunting rifles everything else can be banned.

This is the way a lot of these laws get passed and I am sure that there were a number of hunters here in Colorado who voted for the wolf reintroduction because it wasn't going to affect them directly.

An answer to some of these type actions such as the grizzly permits is for the Fish & Wildlife dept. to issue unlimited licenses with a regional mortality cap. Wyoming does this with mountain lions. $$$ coming in, and the game management goals are generally accomplished.
