Hats off to Minister Loewen

[MountainTi]

Looks to me that wildlife management in Alberta has taken a turn for the better.
Game numbers, aside from predators, have been on the decline for a long time now. Prairie and mountain zones have been hit the hardest but areas such as the one I live in aren't far behind. Years of an overabundance of tags as well as high predator numbers have really taken it's toll on game numbers. In his first year of office he has influenced the reduction of many draw tags as well as supplemental doe tags in areas that needed it. I've heard a lot of whining about a "conflict of interest" but this shows me he is concerned about what has happened to our wildlife. Being a farmer makes one the most qualified for an Ag minister, why not the minister in charge of wildlife as a hunter/part owner in an outfitting business.
In his first year at the helm he has made some much needed changes, hopefully more to come.
Even a much needed grizz hunt in the works ...who woulda thought
