I searched my heart and soul but once again I couldn't find a soft
     spot for APOS !

     You could see this coming ever since Cecil got knocked off !
      Canada is largest exporter of Trophy Game .
      The bad part is even I'm not a trophy Hunter today , I know
       I can't cave on this , cause you know sooner or later it will
        be save the Goose time .
         As long as gun owners , hunters , all outdoor people are fragmented
         Or represented by those pathetic F&G assoc. these BS protests will
          Continue .

 What really fries my hash is the fact that there is no rebuttal
  to this type of media circus .....you have to go a long way to
   be more useless in the area of promoting rational regulation
    In a more political atmosphere than hunting in 2017 ....than
    AFGA .....I say if your hunting future is in the hands of these
     reprobates   Than God help us .
      Until the Canadian hunting community becomes more united
       in a political front and becomes way less petty in their directions .
        We have no hope !

Again I doubt anything like this will ever go through. The government makes too much money off of it boys. Especially when we get these commies out of power any conservative government will boot these guys out the door on their asses.

Imo, we really need a new group to represent us, like the NRA for example. A group that under their umbrella, covers all types of hunters, fishers and outdoor users. Then, like the NRA, the gov will take notice at the numbers and related votes. Once that happens, as a group, it can go to bat against all the negative press and push back against the antis who are already lobbying governments. Seems to me the NRA has swayed quite a few policies. Now it would take a bit to get a group like that going. Maybe province by province first, then national. But i really don't feel that our main "outdoor pursuit" groups really go to bat for us against the governments of the day.

And then there is the problem that our group would rather pick at each other instead of banding together to fight for the common good. We could be a force if we could get all the groups pushing forward and making our voting power heard to the ones who make policy.

I'm a trophy hunter and will not cave in to the anti's. Alberta has quality and quantity of big game, however I agree that APOS should not exist, or at least, have a very minute quantity of allocations.
