The Victoria Fish and Game Protective Association (VFGPA), in conjunction with the BC Wildlife Federation, is actively out in the field observing and reporting stock status of Vancouver Island's large mammals. Elk, Black-tailed Deer, Black Bears, Cougars and Wolves are all present on Vancouver Island. As outdoor enthusiast, we are committed to the correct management of these majestic creatures. Regular communication and liaison with BC Government wildlife staff promotes a better understanding of their abundance. 
This aspect of our organization provides us and the BC Wildlife Federation with the credible data to approach the authorities to intervene where reduction in abundance, disease or habitat damage become significant issues.
Many animal rights organization spout outright lies about animal abundance and present bogus science to further their agendas.
Conversely, we advocate ethical outdoorsmanship and lobby with true facts and actual historical field experience. The vital information we provide to government wildlife staff is of significant assistance for planning their management strategies.
