So, with so many of our Deer, Moose and Elk populations going in the tank......
Do you do your part and help by hunting spring Black Bear? Or do you just carry a B Bear tag in the fall while hunting your favourite ungulates? Or do you even hunt B Bear at all?
Do you apply for spring Grizz? Or just apply for fall G Bear while hunting other species, or not apply at all?
Bear do make for some terrific eating, various sausage types, roasts chops, hams. That said, myself I will not harvest a fish bear, if I want the flavour of fish, I'll catch a fish.
Ive taken a number of Bears over the years but have turned some focus onto spring Bear hunting in the past few years. It gives us more time in the great outdoors, we learn our areas more intimately, helping us learn more for hunting fall ungulates ...... And most notably help out our ungulates by taking out another predator. The ungulates enemy.
Do you take out a Yote or Wolf when given the opportunity? I do and have when ever given the chance.
Ive never hunted Cougar, but given that I'm planning on hunting later in the seasons, I think that's another tag I need to add to my purchases. They also can be good eating .
Have at them predators folks, there another piece of the puzzle to be controlled to help grow more Ungulates, for the future and give us more opportunity in the long run.
