After talks with the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF), the Provincial Health Officer has added hunting and fishing to the list of COVID-19 essential services.
The BCWF advocated for the benefits of fishing and hunting to various levels of government and B.C.’s top doctor Bonnie Henry, and have been given the green light this season, as long as provincial guidelines are followed.
“We are happy hunting and fishing are now listed as essential services. With this listing comes great responsibility and a degree of scrutiny; as responsible citizens and conservationists, we need to ensure these activities are conducted within the guidelines set out by the PHO,” said Bill Bosch, President of the BCWF.

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Once in a while common sense prevails!!!!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

I love this. I can only hope New Brunswick can see the light! No sign of our first lever Turkey season and the fishing opener postponed until a review on April 30. Please let common sense prevail.
