I can visualize a lot more shot and left because they've been naughty.
We all need to keep hunting them anyway! If we stop putting in for grizz leh they will definitely close the hunt! If we keep doing it and keep talking about the sad waste that these pricks are allowing then maybe we have hope of winning
It's scary how many did vote for them (or green) and will admit it with unwavering confidence. I have a hard time listening to people about how government should be run when they've never had to make payroll that actually supports BC families or manage a successful small, medium or large business of any type.Quote Originally Posted by firebird View Post

Leaving the head and hide and only taking the meat is a massive waste and a big blow to our cottage industry of taxidermists throughout the province too.From a conservation standpoint, the best hunt is one that kills the mature boar and leaves the meat behind.
From the standpoint of most human concepts about waste, taking all parts of the bear is the most palatable.
Taking only the meat and being forced to leave the head and hide behind makes the least sense. It's verging on immoral.

I wonder if the ecotours will pay a royalty and support the habitat conservation fund the way hunters have done for decades. Bets?

Animals - If you can't eat 'em, wear 'em!
You've shown your colors....
If I kill an animal, I want to make use of as much as the animal as I can. To have legislated waste is not a solution to anything. Tell the people of BC, they are going put millions into habitat.....They are going to change forestry practices, resources based practices that strips animals of much needed wintering habitat...That would help grizzlies and all other animals. Why choose one animal with healthy numbers to put all your time into. That is such a waste of time and money and effort.
There are many species in the province with unhealthy numbers, yet you and your "conservationist" friends don't educate people about those animals. Just the ones that give you return on your investments right!
Very well put Rob C. I tried to articulate that the NDP's reason for the ban (that it is "socially unacceptable") is based solely and admittedly on emotions (as misguided as they may be) rather than science based conservation.
I think it is outrageous our government would admit their rule of law is based on "social acceptability". With that precedent, any loaded poll is justification for new bans/laws.
I truly believe this is what real conservationists need to be pointing out. It is admitted the ban is based on social acceptance, aka emotions, NOT science. It was stated in their own words.
They had to thank their mindless idiot voters somehow, why not do it by admitting they only are in because of a popularity contest
