hunting rights

A conservation group says its latest purchase of exclusive hunting rights in a British Columbia rainforest is a major step toward protecting the area's wildlife, but hunters say the move is an "abuse" of the licensing system.

A grassroots group in Saskatchewan wants to “share land as treaties intended” by allowing Indigenous people to practise their traditional ways of life on privately held land. Farmers can put up a sign welcoming them to hunt, gather or hold ceremonies without fear.

In February, a B.C. trophy hunter made headlines after posting Instagram photos of herself holding two local wolves she had killed. Outrage at her actions was matched only by people’s disbelief when they learned she was technically working within the confines of the law.
