Warning shots can be fired before or after the furry unicorns take a perma-nap. Enough is enough.

It's getting ridiculous, but we keep getting fed the same old story, we don't know how many grizzlies are out there. Biologist are looking for participants here to help study population numbers and the weekly Bear Smart reports just adds up. Lady told me just yesterday that she was told by one of the "experts" there had been Grizzlies in the Bergen area for ever. Yeah right.

Just be sure to have one more brass laying on the ground than there are bullet holes in the bear....one warning shot, one between the eyes. No particular order

SRD trapped and killed two gbears in Rocky Mountain House this summer also. Those three near Whitecourt will likely get the same treatment. It would make more sense to me to open a season and let hunters shoot a few gbears than to have SRD trapping and shooting them.
