3.1 AFGA Conference (February 21-23, 2008 Mayfield Inn & Suites, 16615 - 109th Avenue Edmonton, Alberta Canada, T5P 4K8)
– delegates (Lester Janke) – should be able to send seven delegates. We should have a final list of names by December 1, 2007.
– discussion on proposed Resolution (Rick Martin) regarding double tagging some draws while some applicants are unsuccessful.
Proposed Resolution for consideration at the 2008 AFGA conference
Submitted by: Brooks and District Fish and Game Association
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: all Special License draw applicants in any WMU be given access to Special Licenses and tags before multiple tags are issued to a single successful draw applicant, with the exception of WMU’s where excessive hunter density is historically an issue.
BRIEF: In many WMU’s wildlife management concerns such as very high deer populations have resulted in the issuing of multiple tags to successful draw applicants (eg. Antlerless mule deer in WMU152). In some cases applicants in the antlerless mule deer draw have been unsuccessful, while successful applicants have been issued multiple tags.
A possible solution may be to make the additional tags required for management purposes available as undersubscribed licenses, and allow successful draw applicants who wish to harvest more than one deer to apply for these additional tags, and receive them free of charge when they purchase their original license.
3.2 Digital Projector purchase proposal (Rick Martin)
MOTION – Moved by Rick Martin that we purchase a digital projector to be used for instructional purposes and presentations at meetings, seconded by Greg Feth. CARRIED. (Rod Svenson will order)
