No more Moose hunting for you, Whitey

[Piperdown]

Yes walks with deer moose in 6-04 are down, in our area not as much as we had a couple of good burns north of our cabin which pushed a lot of the animals our way. As for the wolf numbers at the cabin they too are down but the black bear numbers are through the roof, which is why more people need to start hunting them, i for one have jumped on this wagon, probably should have done it long ago. It seems hunting season can't come soon enough and then maybe the bickering will slow down a tad

PG nails it !

Boy one sentence and look at the shitstorm, it was an honest question. Dana is so smart i just wanted to know what kind of education he has so we can all learn too. Ah walks with deer, maybe read some of my posts, i own 80 acres in 6-04, with a nice log cabin on it, spend at least 3 months a year in that area along with at least 2 trips to the koots and your area, so i average at least 100 days in the bush is that enough for you. What is a hiplie by the way? Rob i really like the way you think and speak (write) you ever thought of getting involved with the Fed or the likes, you don't let emotion get in the much like Ourea, always a pleasure to read posts and opinions from you both, keep up the good dialogue.

I live in the bush 365 days out of the year and have witnessed what 40 years of mismanagement by those with degrees and creation of “management models” have done to the local moose, deer and caribou populations. Also, what no management has done to the predator populations and the influence made on urban opinions of such. If one has half an idea of what happens next ( which IS taught on Sesame Street) one doesn’t need a degree to realize what is going on.

The endless studies to create employment for govt. employees, contractors and their buddies has studied wildlife to the brink.

Does it matter if one has a degree? Most of them aren’t worth wiping with.

Mine came paperless, a result of leaving Home at 15 and spending the next 30 years in Life’s School of Hard Knocks. It may have made me a little more observative and open minded than the indoctrinated, educated, whizz kids we have making decisions ( or not) today.

ahh piperdown sounds like you get out...i was just laughing at the degree issue...hippy sorry fat fingers on phone...

my family and freinds that live and some guide and log in 6-04 have told me moose are down in numbers hard there..

funny thing moose population in alberta is way better than here except maybe the mountain mu's and road densitie is way hirer...hmm so is wolf control.

instead of all this fighting we need cheif to go on cbc and blab some shit how traditionaly wolves where controled and we need to thin themm blah blah and get some public support.

Great idea!

Great idea!

Absolutely! And, maybe a bit off topic, but I would also love to see an FN hunt for seals and sea lions on the coast!

I am in the same boat as you no university degree, i do have some college and university courses /credits. I too deal with university degrees daily and some of them are so lost it is not funny, i do how ever take exception to someone on a forum that more or less calls everybody stupid and that he or she knows it all. Nobody knows everything i tend to think we learn something new till the day we die. As i have stated before maybe these people need to take the place of some of the so called morons who are running the show and right the ship, must be my socialist view i guess because apparently that's what i am .

Black bear numbers are still high in 6-04 but are declining. Not an issue as the numbers were crazy high. The decline is not to do with hunters but more locals are targeting them

As for moose past winters are probably the biggest factor but unregulated hunting and predators are not far behind.

This area has issues

Degree? Yup, have a 4 year Batchelor Degree. Who cares? I certainly don't have enough clout to be in Ourea's rolla-thingy I do find it funny that a guy like Piperdown is offended by me. I never even posted a single response to him until he called me a dick! Oh wait, he apologied for saying that so it doesn't count. Oh wait, he retracted the apology because my attidude towards his apology was dickish. So, yup, I guess I am a dick. Hahaha!

[quadrakid]

Please don,t stop being a dick.

Ha ha this coming from the guy with thick skin. We are lucky the fish in the ocean are not like you, you bite on the first piece of bait put in front of you. Dana you seem to be a bit more angry than usual. You get laid off, troubles at home with the wife, kids on drugs, if this is the case, don't blame yourself. With my wifes cancer, there were and still are many good support groups, it has help us greatly, be nice to see the Dana of old on here again.
