While I disagree with selling to the anti's, how do you blame a guy (who isn't a millionaire) for selling to someone who is literally asking double what his asking price was. While it bummed me out, I understood and cant say I wouldn't have done the same. I hold no ill feelings towards him, he is an awesome guy with some great stories.

I don’t think he had a choice, he was likely going broke without his bear hunts to pay the bills. You can’t survive doing 8 goat hunts a year that involve flying. It’s unfortunate the area is gone forever now, but this was likely the best outcome for him.
And if there is compensation for the loss of our grizzly hunts down the road, he’ll still get the money even though it sold
