Hm. I’m pleased but wary. Looking at a bunch of “sustenance” hunters this year? Lots of wheels on the ground in the bush?

Good to see that there will be no question as to whether seasons are open or not now.

LEH is out and it is clearly telling people to apply for draws in their regions close to home.

My guess is that everyone is just going to be retards and put in where they always do. Just stay out of region 5 around 100 mile please LOL

Nothing there regarding hunting with buddies that you don't live with so I assume that is still going to be a recommendation? Not sure if COs will enforce that though?

Also, curious if that overrules the park closures for all the provincial parks that allow hunting during open seasons?

Just like the LCB, gotta keep as much tax revenue flowing as they can cause every time the shiny pony opens his mouth he is doling out billions.Rob

Great to see the seasons will be open this year, the one I’m worried about is the potential for a “backcountry ban” if we have a few fires.

Now if only the ranges would open back up to sight in rifles and for recreational shooting .
Golf courses are open why not gun ranges ?

why do you need a gun range to sight in a rifle?
I have not visited a gun range since...…. 2012 and my rifles get sighted in at least once every year

recreational (restricted) shooting . And for those that hunt but don't live near the bush
