Could Be Exploited RUPERT nimrods and hunters, and their PRINCE number is many, know where to go for the unsurpassed fishing and hunting that is to be had in the grand outdoors of this district and how to get there. They have their boats and their cars. They have their accommodation. They do not require guides to take them into the good fishing waters, the wooded hills and meadows where the deer abound or the swamps and flats where the geese and ducks rise on the wing. It is different, however, for the visitor who would essay to share in the sport of the outdoors which is so commonplace and taken for granted by the most of us here. There are practically no organized facilities available for them in the way of accommodation, transportation or guiding. Opening Season For Hunting OPEN SEASONS in the Atlin, Fort George, Peace Rier.
