Concern with BCWF and GOABC and hounds

[Elkaholic]

It has been brought to the hound clubs attention here in the EK that yes they do want to try and get rid of bears with dogs.

Any specifics on who 'they' is? Thanks.

To my best understanding, the COS has raised concerns about the use of dogs while hunting grizzlies specifically.

[KodiakHntr]

What concerns would those be I wonder?

[boxhitch]

Somebody's personal pet peeve maybe. Its not like their have been any dangerous incidents, or have there ?
Remember , bears are predators too

It would be nice if Mr. BCWF would chime in on black bear hunting with dogs.

This is not a BCWF initiative. Its been raised by a couple of CO's in the Koots

So what is the concern then? You seem to be familiar with the situation Dawg?

This is a proposal from the guides, GOABC, to the PHAAT meeting in Victoria and was discussed on the Wildlife Committee conference call. The committee did not support the proposal.

Hunting for Health not Heads​

Was not the dog issue pertaining only to grizzly bears because they will not tree?
Are you sure the proposal was brought forward by just the "guides"?

Sounds like there is possibly more to the story some don't have the kahuna's to come right out and say about the issue or people pushing for this?
Silence is how these things we don't want to happen, happen.
