With our use of crown land, sometimes just the ability to do small projects can really help us out--permission to clear fence lines, and have thinning programs done. We seem to have to get a permit in B.C. to do all sorts of things. For example, our ranch has had cattle on it since 1898, and a highway goes through the centre of it. Now we're told that we're supposed to have a permit to chase cows across that highway. Cows have been crossing it since it started. It's just little things like that.
We have time to do work and we don't mind doing that, but I don't really have time to do more paperwork.
The other day I asked if it was all right if I shot some crows. I asked if you are allowed to shoot crows or ravens if they are pestering your calves during calving time. The answer I got back from our agriculture person was that there was no bag limit on crows; you're allowed to shoot crows, but you need a permit to shoot ravens.
So I can't tell the difference anymore between crows and ravens.
