Same here Ovis - all public (crown) lands are open to the public. The guides have their guiding territories that are only closed to other guides.
: Only private lands require the owner's permission to hunt.
: It's a nice feeling to get on a high peak and as far as you can see in all directions, it's crown land, totally opn for hunting. Such is the case just a few miles west and south of here where I hunt mostly. Further south, ther is more settled land. We'll see what the land claims settlements to that, for sure.
: Another observation is there are more slob residents than slob guides and their hunters.
: With only a couple game wardens per 1,000 square miles, there is much poaching, of course. The governement here puts all licence fees into generaly revenue, but charges a habitat fee on eahc licence, which also goes into general revenue. Each year they promise to start putting the mony back into the resourse, & each year, they lie. Such is socialism. Funds that should go back into the resourse, end up funding their own holidays and friend's projects. ihmo, of course.
