(the right to take home spring bear meat)? To appease the Anti's? WTF man? Holy cow.
Hunters should never be advocating for taking away other hunters rights - the government doesn't need any help from us. They're doing a pretty good job kowtowing to whatever the Anti's want already. They want us to eat our own - how you don't realize this is beyond me
Many years ago I was fortunate enough to try some interior Grizz meat that had been feeding on blueberries (not salmon) and it was just as delicious as any black bear I've eaten. We need to bring back the Grizz hunt because they're quickly losing their fear of humans and their numbers are seriously increasing almost everywhere in this province. Its beyond ridiculous
I think you are right about that. There are 5and 6 year old grizzlies that have never had a threat of being hunted. This will be a problem very soon. Making decisions to end that hunt on emotion and political pandering means that those that made that decision gave no thought to the repercussions.
