Quite the debate on this matter on the Alberta Hunting Forum...
Apparently this was negotiated behind closed doors, zero consultation involved with anyone but the FN band involved.
From the Alberta site:
"Cull hunt along the Celestine Lake road and Snaring will occur from Oct 6-13
-the Simpcw FN will be participating. From my quick research they mainly reside in the area of BC from Valemount to Barriere. They are one of many FN that used the Jasper area, historically
-no other FN groups have been invited to partake
-the hunt is done in the spirit of reconciliation as a joint effort from Parks Canada, the Federal Government, and the Simpcw FN
-they have set quotas on cull harvest at 3 elk, 3 whitetail, 3 sheep, and one mule deer (per hunter). No information on sex or age of animals was listed."
So now the Fed's have chosen to play the reverse racism card and grant this FN access to animals inside of a National Park.
And they are doing so as quietly as possible.
Dunno about you, but IMO this SUCKS ROYALLY!!
