I think it's time somebody brought up the poor performance of Manitoba Conservation, particularly the Wildlife Branch and their inability to manage wildlife populations efficiently to meet hunter demand.

With wildlife populations (especially big game) at multi-year lows as of this writing, fall 2015, Game Managers have undertaken no significant policy changes to address the undersupply of game relative to hunter demand.

As a sportsman, landowner, and conservationist I know how difficult it can be to manage wildlife in terms of quantity and quality, which is why I am posing the question:

What policy changes do you the hunter and user of wildlife want to see that would help improve wildlife populations to levels that meet the high demand that hunters expect to see come hunting season? What needs to change? What policies seem to be working well?

IMHO the best policy change will be hopefully made come election day. It would be really nice to see a new government elected that would stand up to the MMF and their scum bag leader, not giving him everything he wants in order to try and secure extra votes. For those of you that haven't heard Sell-outinger gave David Chartrand the ok to expand metis harvester rights into the Grassy River area.

Manitoba requires very mild temperatures and low quantity of snow for the next 3 years. Mother nature will conduct better improvements to quality and quantity than any politician or bureaucrat.
 
Deer is looking somewhat better...the larger ungulates favoured by the "harvesters" such as moose not so much.
 
A valid point was brought up...we cannot have have uncontrolled hunting by one group of users while another group is subject to a draw system or has a closed season for the same species that so called rights based hunters may harvest at will. It isn't 1830 and things have changed drastically since these treaties were signed.

I strongly suggest to all of you who are not already members of Manitoba Wildlife Federation to get yourself a membership. It is about the same cost as a box of shells and the organization is our only hope in Manitoba to lobby the government for changes that we as sportsmen need and want to see.

I can't stress enough the importance of getting involved in an organization that will stand up for you and advocate for the changes we want to see. I know I have taken a more active roll lately, and encourage you all to do the same.

What other changes do we as sportsman want to see our goverment make to ensure hunting opportunities grow into the future? Surely there are other important changes that can be made??

Supposedly 10 animals in this pile out in spruce woods. Does& fawns aswel. Taken before October well before rifle season. all rifle shot. Average Poacher road hunter ? Or just a normal harvest ? Can tell you one thing , a poacher road hunting won't even leave a shell behind. Look at all the trash in the picture, obviously people who believe they can not be touched by the law.
Anyone remember the story of a pyramid of elk stacked up at a local northern town dump? Only thing harvested was the backstraps, it was clearly a statement..

Conservations budget being cut doesn't help either.
 
Poaching is something that happens regardless of race, creed, or religion.
I don't think pointing out that our animal population seems to be in crisis all the while, our government has singled out one race and allows them to do what they want, while they want, whenever they want.
Manitoba was rated as the most racist place in Canada. It seems like that is true. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't giving someone rights based on race define racism? Or is it only when you take their rights?

Don't think it matters if your black , yellow, blue or green. We single out the mass problem and state facts , it's not racism, it's facts. There are a number of videos of drunk belegerants downtown screaming stuff about whities. One popular video is the one on the city bus. I doubt you will find one about any other Canadian race in MB saying that to the face of an aboriginal.
There's no doubt every race has it's poachers.
Take Lockport for an example, a large population of a certain immigrant minority gathers day after day and disregards the law. Filling buckets with fish then emptying them in the trunk , walking back down the hill to fill their bucket again. Some get caught but there are not enough resources to have a NRO sit there all day. If I were to say their origin country would that be racist ? Or just a fact ?

Would it be racist to say there are large groups that go out and kill entire herds of animals ? Call it harvesting , and are above the average Manitobans hunting laws, or just a fact ?

Let's say the "greens" have a large group that goes out and triples their limit of geese every day. However the greens are new to this country and the government gave them a special card that allows this . We should be able to say the greens keep killing way to many geese, before we know it there won't be any geese left!
Maybe the "blues" are mad so they shoot a couple more geese then they are allowed everytime, because hell those geese are just gonna die anyways when they fly over the greens field..
It's not racist to say the greens are the problem, just a fact.
