I can't agree more. I think the point that should be noted by everyone is that conservation started with the hunting and angling community. Ducks Unlimited, as I mentioned in my presentation, was started by hunters. We were the first environmentalists, I believe, aside from our first nations people.
A conversation about conservation cannot occur unless we include hunting, fishing and trapping communities.
I do agree it's important to have proper representation in the government with someone who understands the importance of including our organizations as hunters, anglers and trappers in that conversation, along with other interested parties.
