I just watched a video on the Weather Network about a spike in grizzly bears, this report was from B.C.
Naturally they said how 'grizzlies had been hunted nearly to extinction' (in the U.S.).
And then the obvious, that banning 'Trophy Hunting' (is how they phrased it), of grizzlies in B.C. has allowed a 'gradual increase' in grizzly numbers.
Oh my god, listening to was painful, just pure left-wing spin on the entire thing.
And then they ended with saying that people were just going to have to live/coexist with grizzlies and listed all the ways to be avoid being mauled/attacked by grizzlies.
Alberta grizzly population has exploded. For all the same reasons.
There never used to be grizzly sighting south of Whitecourt, but now there are grizzlies in every direction around town.
As soon as you are 1 km outside town you can run into one of the buggers.
Where I hunt, I had a bunch of pics last year of a big dry sow and a huge boar wandering around.
I'm pretty much certain that sow is going to be trolling 2 or 3 cubs with her this year.
Fwiw, there was another grizzly sow with cubs in my hunting area last year also, and I was lucky enough not to run into her.
Bring back the friggin' grizzly hunt. Plain and simple.
