Maybe it's cause I'm on my phone but I didn't see a place to vote. But I have to be honest this isn't  concerning Washington or even the U.S. It pertains to a completely different country. Should we even be voting on something like this?

Turkeyfeather,

The reason why we should vote, even if were not citizens is because someday we might want to hunt a grizzly bear in Alberta.....Also, I'm sure there are many guides and outfitters who would appreciate it if we went up there and spent money to help their businesses.  Just my two-cents.

Alberta??? Where's the Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho poll? Seems to be about time for a draw tag for all three of those states. Heck, we could even spare a few tags for NE Washington. 


Oh, and yes to Alberta as well.

I get that and you make some good points I hadn't thought of and believe me I am not trying to be stubborn about this. I guess I have a different view. I look at it this way. I don't want someone from another state let alone another country trying to tell us what they think we should do about managing our deer or elk population. I understand it's only a poll, but if people start waying in on that then they may think they have a say beyond that and so on. I know that might be a stretch it just seems to me like it's really not our place I guess. I hope that doesn't sound snotty cause that's not my intentions at all and I'm not looking for a fight just an explanation as to why we should throw our  in.

The enemy doesn't mind their own business so we should not either. anything pro hunting trapping fishing we need to voice support. them managing their bears may come to help us when we want to
