This month’s Cassiar Country is dedicated
to the moose and the caribou, the bear and the
salmon, the goat and the sheep: to all the wild-
life that make this northern land a beautiful and
special place to live.

‘Hunting season is well underway in Cassiar
Country. Because of our big game this district
attracts hunters from around the world, and local
hunters look forward to hunting season with great
anticipation. Several local guiding operators owe
their livelihoods to the game.

Conservation Officer Don Thatcher said
in an interview recently that he expects more and
more hunters to travel to our area because more
restrictions are being imposed in southern and
central B.C. every year.

Thatcher said there are no changes to the
hunting regulations in our area this year. How-
ever to people who are not hunters but who wish
to carry firearms for target practice, the firearms

- license is now being issued for a five year period

at a cost of $5. Previously. these licenses were
issued yearly. He added that it is a criminal off-
ence to carry restricted weapons (handguns)
without a permit.

Thatcher said that moose are the most
hunted animals in our area. Dates for moose
season this year are: bull moose August 15th —
November 8th; cow and calf October 4th — 12th.
People who usually hunt grouse while hunting
moose should note the grouse season does not
open until September 15th. Also a new regulation
makes it illegal to shoot a swimming animal.

Caribou are another of the animals popular
to hunters here. Caribou season is from Septem-
ber Ist — October 4th for bulls only. Both male
and female caribou have antlers and it is up to
the hunter to make the distrinction. The horns
on the bull are generally much larger than those
on a cow caribou.

Sheep season is from August | — October
26th. Mountain goat season runs from August

Cassiar Country

1 — October 15th. Black and grizzly bear season
opens September 1. Black bear season closes
November 15th, grizzly, October 26th. Hunters
are reminded they cannot shoot a grizzly bear if
it is in a family group.

Conservation Officer Thatcher said they will
be cracking down on hunters who are consuming
alcohol.

“Just like driving-a motor vehicle,’ Thatcher
said, “firearms and liquor don’t mix.”

New regulations provide conservation
officers with the right to seize the firearms of
any individual under the influence of alcchol.
He added that in February this year the Deputy
Commissioner of the R.C.M.P. appointed all
conservation officers as Special Constables of
the R.C.M.P.

Thatcher said that alcohol leads to care-
lessness and endangers the drinking hunter,
other hunters and our wildlife.

He said the R.C.M.P. have a new riverboat
and, “We'll be using it this season to patrol the
river systems, especially the Dease River...”
where drinking hunters have been a problem in
the past.

In addition to river checks the conservation
Officer, as well as the R.C.M.P., will be setting up
road blocks to check vehicles. Thatcher reminds
hunters that they must carry licenses and tags
with them. Failure to do so could result in a
$50 fine. Also, he said the law requires that
hunters cancel their tags immediately after they
have killed an animal. Loaded firearms in a
vehicle are prohibited.

Air patrols will also be used’ this hunting
season, One area where the air patrols will be of
particular importance is the Stikine River system
where poachers coming in from Alaska are a
problem. ;

~During the interview Don Thatcher said he
didn’t want this article to be a dull repetition of
rules and regulations. Hunting season is an excit-
ing time for our local hunters. But he stressed

Cassiar Courier September 1985 Page 9

it is important that hunters know the rules, in
order to protect our wildlife. It is illegal to
shoot a swimming animal because the animal
must have some sense of fair chase. It is illegal to
shoot a grizzly bear in a family group because it
is difficult to tell the difference between male and
female bears. There are reasons for the rules.

The local conservation officer serves an area
from the Yukon border to Bell II, including Tele-
graph Creek. Last month he moved his office
from Cassiar to Dease Lake because it is a more
central location. However, he will be visiting
Cassiar twice a week and can be contacted
through the R.C.M.P. or the government agent.
