2014 Fish & Game association Resolutions.
« on: January 08, 2014, 09:47:34 PM »

We had out F&G association meeting in Rocky tonight and went over and voted on the resolutions for the Feb 2014 conference.

A number of resolutions that were voted down last year have come up again in a similar way.  There are a few resolutions calling for more restrictions on outfitters and some asking for full disclosure of the number of permits per area and success and such for non residents and non resident aliens.

The limited harvest of bull trout resolution that we discussed here a while back was there.

A few were geared to change limits on perch and pike.  With the suggestion that it would "simplify the regulations".

Some asking for changes in some of the draws particularly to deal with bow hunting.

Requests for a season on morning doves and a season on sandhill cranes.

Nothing that I would say is too earth shattering or controversial.

These resolutions all go into the head office at the same time so one group should not know what another group is submitting.  And it is interesting how one area's resolution calls for...regulate the majority of yellow perch populations with the current Provincial standard of 15- fish per day harvest... and then the next resolution calls for ...that regulation changes on lakes requiring special yellow perch limits be established when biological information supports...

So we voted for one and against the other.


Some of the guys feel the deer numbers will really take a hit this winter.  Any resolution that had the word "antlerless season" in it got some of them kind of riled up.

I was going to ask about the antlerless tags coming up but I guess it won't matter much either way I expect a massive winterkill in the rocky area snow is waist to chest deep out there with more to come. Won't be any does to harvest next season.

We have bails set out for deer along with salt blocks and they can get at clean water.  The the deer are also feeding where the horses have pawed.  Had 15 at last count.

The 2014 AF&GA conference is set for Fort Mack in late Feb.  Anyone else on here going?

The Rocky club is sending 3 voting delegates.

               Curious if there has been any more talk about getting rid of the no firearms on atv's before noon law or a spring snow goose season?

I believe there was a resolution about changing the ATV before noon regulation last year.  I am not sure but I think it passed.  I don't recall what the response of F&W was on it.  There is nothing in this years resolutions on it or spring snow goose.
