  1. Residents living next to the former #RoyalOak golf course in #Saanich fear that #IllegalHunting has caused a “significant drop" in the local population of #CaliforniaQuail.

    “Since early July, several people have witnessed and reported frequent trapping of quail to the Capital Regional District #CRD and other authorities,” said a resident, who wished to remain anonymous. “We believe the trappers have almost decimated the quail population on and around the property.”

    #BritishColumbia regulations only allow for California #quail to be hunted during October and November, by someone with a #hunting license. However, as the 10.94 hectare piece of land, adjacent to #ElkBeaverLake Regional Park, is owned and managed by the CRD, any hunting of wildlife, including quail, is a violation of a #CRDparks bylaw.

    The COS and the CRD have asked that anyone with information should contact the Report All #Poachers and Polluters hotline at 1-877-952-7277.
