Thank You Chad Day!
No doubt the grizz have a huge impact on moose, caribou...numbers & are known to kill up to 40 newborn calves each & each year. Do the math.
Also I believe in the grizz expert extraordinaire, Gary Shelton that said -hunting grizz instills fear of men, hence less attacks.
We'll probably have to wait for a change in govt. before it's considered.

I wholeheartedly agree! I seriously don't think merely changing the government will bring about
the changes needed though. Regardless as to what government is in charge they seem to cater
to the largest populations within cites...most of these people, in my opinion, are me me me, self
entitled, and base their decisions purely on emotion rather than scientific facts. They watch the
TV commercials and Disney based animated films depicting grizzlies as friendly, cuddly, harmless
teddy bears that wouldn't hurt a fly and actually believe it. Same with wolves. I wonder how many
of these clueless people would have second thoughts if they were made to watch what really goes
on out there with predator-prey daily encounters.
couldn't agree more....
“We just want to make sure that we make balanced decisions that are based in science and Indigenous knowledge rather than based in emotions from whatever the most popular opinion is in B.C. because we know that the average British Columbian doesn’t live amongst grizzly bears and understand those apex predators like we do.”
It's no coincidence that the Tahltan own G/O territories and would like to sell those hunts. Although whatever the motive is, if a lift of this ban is the final result, I'd support their efforts.
Stories like this one are the only way major predator management will be possible in the future. The urbanites that drive voting want to save Yogi the Bear, but modern "woke" culture means those same folks can't criticize anything First Nations groups do. Talk about between a rock and a hard place for those folks!
Sure, the Tahltan have their own agenda - but if hunting for everyone improves as a result it is a "win-win".

All predators need managing, grizzlies are no different. Hopefully we see this moratorium removed and the hunts can resume.
