Ya know, grizzlies love the smell of patchouli oil......

Leave the price,Drain them for all it's worth.Soon they will show their true colors when they abandon this because of cost when the bears still get harvested anyway by hunters that also get drawn.They should raise the quota knowing all of this as well.

The hunters and the fisherman should have more say when it comes to the fish and game dept. nation wide.  The money that comes from just these 2 user groups has got to be huge for most states.

Makes sense to me.   I will add that increasing the permits may be needed.  Overall they have decided that x amount can be harvested.  So depending on species and other they will offer y amount of permits knowing that some will not harvest.  Wait till for a trend and than adjust permits accordingly.  This and what is quoted effectively ignores there effort.  Be interesting to see how much they contribute before they fade away?  Than again it could be a new way to fund wildlife agencies and still maintain opportunity.

For every bear humans kill by hunting, big bears kill 33+ smaller bears in Alaska.

Trophy  hunting increases bear populations..


Funny how if we kill something it's bad but if an animal kills another it's good. Weird!

Unfilled tags should make for a good Spring Season draw. Be easy for them to announce a Spring Season after the draw is over.

That would be so funny!
I can see it now.  "Due to low harvest we are now offering permits for a spring hunt".
I would love to be sitting there with a healthy glass of Pendleton watching the protestors when that was announced.
In a couple days they could announce "We are tripling the number of permits in an attempt to achieve desired management objective."

Nebraskan Tom Mangelsen, fierce critic of Wyoming grizzly hunt, scores hunting license

Updated 13 min ago
JACKSON, Wyo — A well-known nature photographer from Nebraska and fierce critic of grizzly bear hunting has drawn a tag for Wyoming's first such hunt in 44 years.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide reported Thursday that Tom Mangelsen drew No. 8 on an issuance list that will allow up to 10 grizzly hunters into the field starting Sept. 15. He was up against 3,500 Wyoming residents and 2,327 nonresidents vying for a shot at the tags.

Mangelsen, who credited being chosen to "dumb luck," was among scores of people from around the country who applied for the tags as a means of civil disobedience intended to slow the hunt. Wildlife managers say the tactic is legal.

The hunt for which Mangelsen's tag is valid will end after the first female bear is killed. Up to 10 male grizzlies can be killed.

Mangelsen grew up in Nebraska and has a gallery in Omaha's Old Market.

He intends to spend his allotted time "hunting with a camera," Mangelsen said in a Facebook post. "With only one person allowed in the field at one time, hopefully the ten days I take up will save the lives of some of these amazing animals

I was number 629...I still have hope...

[Jpmiller]

That's an expensive photography trip.

Wow! Even those applicant numbers are surprisingly low considering it was open to the country! Interesting.

[dreamunelk]

Anyone know what it cost to apply?  Using WA rate that is almost 35k.  Add in the $600 for resident and $6k for non.  That is a junk of money.

If they want 5 bears taken then they do what Washington does with cougar!

Jane Goodall is a fraud!
She had recorded infanticide and cannibalism, her pet Frodo, attacked and ate human babies, and she hid the details for many years because it was not inline with her agenda.
