Sheep hunt rivalry in British Columbia sparks debate
The BC sheep hunt debate centers on resident and non-resident success, with a Fish and Wildlife Branch letter arguing that restricting non-residents won’t boost resident success. It notes 1975 data: 550 resident licenses yielded 155 sheep (about 33 percent), while 313 sheep were taken by 600 non-residents, aided by guides and access to rugged country. The letter warns eliminating non-residents would reduce revenue and fail to level the field. Fort St. John, B.C. Canada.
