Grizzly Numbers Up
Read a few articles actually publicizing that the population is up and thriving in Alberta.
Wonder if we will get to hunt them again......

Better odds winning 6/49 than seeing a season on Grizzly bears .

It was a political decision to end the grizzly hunt in Alberta, and I doubt any politician will have the intestinal fortitude to reverse it.

Any real and credible scientific study/project would have an end goal. So, what is it? How will we know where the goal line is?

we may never see a grizzly hunt in this province again. Too bad. So many where we hunt sheep. That would be a cool experience!

I would be a happy man if I could hunt spring grizzly in the Rockies again
But sadly I have no faith in a hunt starting up again

Yep, me too.
Last hunt I had (not successful), was NW of Manning many moons ago.
Still good memories...

I very much doubt that we will ever see a grizzly hunt in Alberta, the numbers could reach 5000, and it won't matter, it's about politics, not wildlife management. I am glad I went to B.C to hunt grizzly, before they closed the season there.

Didn’t everyone say there would never be a goat season in Alberta a few years ago.

There aren't a lot of people protesting the goat hunt, unlike the grizzly hunt.

Was that just relisted recently or has that been visible the whole time? Could be a sign if it was re added.

Where do you see 2021 summaries? I only see 2020. And if G Bear were displaying I should see 7 points but I don't see it listed. Could it have anything to do with April 1...

How are you getting 2021 draw summaries when they’re not even done yet? This is all I get.

If enough farm critters get ate, they might open something up in the Ag areas,
The SSS draw, shoot, skin and shut up,
Never know,

For sure. At the very least to be able to take care of nuisance bears without getting raked over the coals.

There should have 2 tags available for every grizzly management unit
They should be targeting old mature cub killing boats or problem bears that are pointed out by game wardens or bios
No reason why this can’t be done
Just need someone with some balls to make the call
I don’t think the old grizzly priorities are around
The draw system has changed hands too many times to think that the data is still available
You would have to make the application price around $1500-$2000
To discourage the antis from flooding the draw system more than they do now

This ^^^^^
And on top of that, why not have a handful of grizz tags that are auctioned off at a ridiculous price? Then take the money and put it all towards conservation efforts

Absolutely, problem is that the conservation community has not kept up with public education as fast as the anti's
If there were real efforts to tell people what Grizzles do to the other populations of animals it could sway public opinion in time.

The anti’s just lie and spread it through social media and junk outlets like the CBC
Then we have to fight tooth and nail to prove what the truth is
Always a step behind
