Hunter and Angler Complacency is our Real Enemy

While the threats to hunting and fishing in this province are numerous, one of the greatest threats comes from within. That’s right, sportsmen and women are their own worst enemy. A very small percentage is willing to stand up to protect what they believe in. We have become a society of secret hunters and anglers that would rather accept the fate handed to us by the politicians than cry foul. We have become so complacent that the government never thinks twice about not only taking away opportunity, but also enacting regulations that may well jeopardize the future of fish and wildlife in this province.

Can one voice really make a difference? Of course it can and when you combine that voice with the hundreds of thousands of other hunters and anglers in this province, that voice becomes so loud that our elected politicians have to listen. But, it all starts with you caring enough to speak up for what you believe in and taking the time to let other Albertans know about the threats to our natural resources. That powerful unified voice begins with one outcry from an individual like you.

Currently, in most parts of Alberta, the wait for a licenced recreational hunter to get drawn for a moose tag is approximately 4 years. With the existence of the Interim Métis Harvesting Agreement, your wait may become 6 or 8 years or non-existent in many parts of the province. Are you willing to accept this?

In the pages of this web site you will find all the resources you require to help you be heard and to help you make a difference in the proper management of our precious natural resources. Start by writing a letter, sending an e-mail or making a telephone call. Help spread the word to your fellow sportsmen and women and encourage them to be heard as well. Not only can you make a difference, you can become the difference in ensuring that Alberta’s fish and wildlife receive the care and proper management they deserve.
