    I'll pull the same moves as with the LGR. Shoot an unregistered bear, not talk about it. When the moratorium ends I'll make a photo album and put the skull on my shelf.

    i would think you shoot the bear you own the whole thing hide and all. Just take it home whole that`s what i would call complete retention i`m just sayin.

    This is a quote from a global bc article dated nov 2016, it is ridiculous but it's not a rumour. I don't know how to setup a link to the article though.
    .
    To be clear, the NDP is not proposing an all-out ban on hunting grizzlies; they’ll still allow hunters to kill if they plan on using the bear for food.

    “When you take that meat out of the forest, you’re not taking the head, you’re not taking the claws, and you’re not taking the pelt,” Horgan said.

    If this is the case, it is a very slippery slope for every game species we hunt. If true, taxidermist's should be very concerned. What's species is next? Sheep? Goats? Deer?
    There was a time I thought all parties that cared for wildlife and habitat conservation could find common ground. I was wrong. Adapt....

    Here's the Global Article:

    http://globalnews.ca/news/3087870/b-...r-trophy-hunt/

    As someone recently mentioned to me (and I am paraphrasing) this election showed us how narrow the voting margins are. It will be a good time to discuss these topics with our MLA's.

    We could end up back in the ballot booths in a few months and with an understanding of how much impact a mostly-unified hunting voice has, the dialogue could very different among policiticans. Rather than emotionally driven topics and using grizzly bears as PR, perhaps we would see science based discussion about preserving and restoring habitat.

    My main concern that when policy is made to appease emotions, it is straying from actual science and conservation. Once you do that, there is no limit on how far or overreaching it might become.

    Any big game animal that would be a "Trophy " will be next , we can still hunt then but only retain the meat the antlers-horns would have to be left in the hills .
