Wow, that is crazy. Hopefully they catch them if it was poaching.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Sad. Hopefully they will get cut and they should do the same that they did to the bears.

Weird wonder if it was a lazy taxidermist?

Hopefully it’s just a taxidermist or butcher shop not properly disposing their by products. But if that were the case it does seem like there would be more bones than just the paws. Hopefully their local claw  guy is as well known as our local jerky guy and they have somewhere to start questioning To find out if it was poaching or not. Not sure what kind of hunting rights the Native Americans in Canada have but they could possibly do it and be fine as long as they said it was ceremonial. Lots of different possibilities.

I thought butcher to for a minute but there would be a lot more other bones like you said.

Most of the bears brought to a taxi will be with the paws still in the hide. Most guys don't do that part themselves.

A long time back I found a similar but smaller pile off a landing. I called it in and met the local warden a few days later. She took some pictures looked around and told me that from the way everything looked she was guessing it was a taxidermist dump site which wasn't illegal.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

Strong, capable, effective leaders don't spend all day, every day, issuing threats and ultimatums.

I'm a Never Trumper ...... and I've been right the whole time.

Even the stupid people are starting to get it

Paws are worth big bucks in the Asian market. Weird they were dumped.It is possible they were legally taken, *maybe*.

Exactly. Definitely a taxi dump in my opinion.

Taxidermist. Nobody else would have that many cleanly skinned bear paws and. Anybody who was prolific enough to poach 20-25 bears wouldn't have time to rug them out.

Super clickbaity. The only people who "guessed" poaching were the person who found it and the expressly anti-bear hunting orgs. of the area.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
