Cariboo hunters are feeling relieved after proposed changes in deer hunting regulations was left off the agenda at a meeting of the Cariboo Wildlife Advisory Committee on Dec. 15.
The hunters oppose a proposal by the Cariboo Chilcotin Guide Outfitters Association to reduce the current two bucks bag limit to one mule deer buck as well as increasing hunting restrictions in the Cariboo.
Wilf Pfleiderer, president of the Quesnel Rod and Gun Club, was pleased.
“It indicates that it’s a dead issue for now,” Pfleiderer said.
Stewart Fraser, Cariboo Chilcotin Guide Outfitters president, said his organization won’t give up the fight to reduce mule deer bag limits.
“There was no point in bringing it up (at the meeting) because of all the accusations made at us,” Fraser said. “There was no point in doing it unless we wanted to get in a debate.”
