You just had to know it was coming, NDP did way back right before they got punted. What's next is what concerns me?
Moose will be next.
****ing bullshit
So we knew they were going to end all grizzly hunting in the "Great Bear Forest" as did the Liberals, so it's the banning of the "Trophy" hunt that is the NDP's big play then, right?
Does the "Trophy Hunt" ban then mean that you must haul out the meat ?
Many even on this site seemed in favour of that ??
Official Government Release.

"While the trophy hunt will end, hunting for meat will be allowed to continue."
Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!
Ok so the northeast hunt continues. So I can tell the wife I do need a 340 weatherby.
And the eco tourists over time will discover that the gentle giants no longer see humans as a threat and
a bunch of them as well as hunters and locals will get mauled in the ever expanding "great bear rainforest"
And the attack on the rural lifestyle, resource livelihood and BC interior continues.
I was just thinking about how delicious some grizzly smokies would taste.
wonder if the people using GO will HAVE to take the meat, or will the GO give away the meat to the needy, betchya the meat does not go with the person shooting the bear.
NDP are a bad they sit in the big rooms and don't know what is out in the woods ,,grizzly bears are on the increase ,,NDP will never get my vote and they say wolf are the next to be protected ,,they don't have a cleu on what the wolf population will do if there is a ban on wolf hunting ,,they the NDP need to ask montana wildlife management on what wolfs will do to decrease the prey,,BC gave a dozen wolves to montana wildlife department years back because there were no wolves within some parts of Montana it only took a decade for the wolf to populate in big number the game animals lowered to low numbers,,what is going to happen next ???? maybe they should go back to school to get educated on nature's way of life ,,man and women have screwed up the whole world so banning trophy grizzly bear hunts is one of them and wolfs next ??? guess we will have to take the meat out and eat it when we shoot and put down a wolf???and what's the difference on trophy hunting LEH grizzly hunt ???? no different in my books once a hunter shoots a bear of any type its dead only difference is that now a hunter does not have to take out any portions of the meat from a grizzly but have to take out the meat from a BB ,,if it is implemented that a hunter has to take out a percentage of the grizzly bear meat the hunter will dispose of the meat and keep it under there hat meaning cooking up the meat and giving it to their dogs or other ways to rid the meat without anyone knowing about it,,if they implement that the skull and hide has to be turned into management only meat was allowed for the hunter I as for one will not apply for an LEH grizzly hunt let's face it hunters want the skull and hide that's what harvesting a grizzly is all about,,no for me if this ruling comes in effect I will hunt elsewhere out of canada..I just don't get it..
Good, grizzly bear hunting will continue. It'll just have meat retention rules.
I'm very proud to be an NDP supporter today!
WhileE=Fisher-Dude;1926877]It will mean you can't keep the hide, skull, or any other part of the bear.[/QUOTE]
While I believe that's where they are headed, the current legislative requirements declare that once tagged legally the wildlife ceases to be a crown item and belongs to the hunter.
Indeed 99.% but not all hunters would stop hunting IMO if the skull, hide had to be abandoned in the wild or turned in for fitted to crown for destruction?
Question..does this mean ALL guided hunts for residents, and non residents is now for meat only after Nov 30?
So guy drops $20,000 flies to BC from wherever just to only be allowed to take the meat home? Hide, skull gets turned in, destroyed?
Those hunts just became worthless..hunters will ignore BC and head to Alaska , Yukon.
Who was the complete dip $ hit cheering for NDP on hunting site.seriously?

I can't hunt and be an NDP supporter? Of course I can. NDP...woo-hoo!
Oh but those NDPers living in there condos are happy and thats where the votes come from.The interior of this province is going to be completely forgotten.I feel the way about the LML as the west feels about Toronto
I don't know anybody that have eaten grizzly, did natives eat them?
Divisive politics. It's the modus operandi of the left.
The NDP turned public opinion strongly against hunters in return for votes in this election. A city slicker doesn't know the difference between a trophy hunter and a moose meat hunter, and the NDP (and Weaver) preyed on that by throwing us all under the bus. The city slicker was just reminded that all hunters are bloodthirsty savages.
Hell, even Weaver himself described us as "barbaric" yet some dopes on here were dumb enough to vote for him.
Hmm then you do not know some of the benifit s that come from hunting grizzlies..
Taking out old male bears saves countless young cubs that get killed so the female will come back into heat for passing his genes on..
Grizzlies have come to recognize negative impact of interacting with humans when hunting is in place..now grizzlies will come to realize no impact from humans with just 3 cameras strung around their necks..other than humans are delicious. .
In a eco system with grizzlies being top apex predator..they can live to 30 years..grizzlies do not do well in close contact with other bears., canabalism"..chasing younger bears out of older bears range into..? Certainly more conflict with humans..ranchers..rural populations..not anywhere NDP represent..
Populations should be based on a balance..not for economic benifit of couple coastal native groups.
There have been reported that there are in excess of 150 SURPLUS grizzlies over optimal carrying capacities in the lower Bella Coola valley..that dangerous situation will rapidly develop in all rural areas of bc that historically had grizzly populations..outside of downtown vancouver.
The first individual mauled or killed the familly should go after horgan. .basket weaver. .this decision is not science it is purely political.
Now the next election guides will have incentive to kick the no rain ers out.
Only positive is grizzly numbers will grow, animals will get older, bigger for when reason returns.
In the meantime moose, elk calves will die in greater numbers .
Spent 30 years amongst these magnification animals..this political grandiose decision is not in the bear's, nor humans interest.

The list of people interested in hunting grizzly for meat only and not taking one of the biggest resources - the hide will be short. NDGreens have done what they wanted all along in an underhand manner and effectively killed the hunt, for no scientific reason simply to pander to uneducated emotions from urban ridings. Meanwhile in a few years the COs will be killing a hell of a lot of grizzly bears mark my words. In a couple generations and the apex predator will have zero fear of humans. The dumbest move these clowns have made unfortunately it won't be their last. Horgan and Weaver both lied their faces off at the allocation rally I was there and listened carefully. *******s.
It will only take a few years before grizzly bears are being killed all over the province by COs, cops, ranchers due to the population increase I am sure. Place another 2500 boars in BC over the next 10 years and see what happens.
Were on the same page Salty.
Damn Salty...its like we're sharing a brain...you just saved me a bunch of typing!

I might just apply, take the meat home, then dump it in the bush just to piss off the NDPeons all legal like.
Have they actually said you will have to leave the hide/skull? If so, what is the difference between a grizzly and every other animal? I can take a sheep's head, an elk head, a bison head, deer head, moose head, every other animal as far as I know, as long as I take the meat.
That's what I heard on CBC radio news. The difference? People have bought into the spirit bear bullshit and other non scientific supported emotions that grizzlies are king or some bullshit, and they've sold it to the uneducated and the NDGreens are capitalizing on it. They're just another animal, and one that needs to be managed more than any other I can think of. So now you can kill one but not use the fur, that's cruel. WTF? A joke of all jokes of hunting regs world wide IMO
