Not a very good plan for the current government, that kinda cull will result in a loss in numbers of their voters/supporters

Good to see that they’re finally admitting to more bears (1100) although they are probably still shooting low on that. I’d say within a decade or 2 we will see bears in Cyprus hills, perhaps some of the river valleys like the red deer out east.

You won't have to wait a decade or two, a grizzly was spotted yesterday, June 18 between Penhold and Pine lake... Fish and Wildlife has not made a positive identification yet though.

Default grizz

Grizz were on the Alberta prairie because he had few million bison and a few elk to eat. Now they will need to settle for a few ranchers cattle for supper.

More than a few I'll bet. Easy pickings.
