--- Quote from: ICEMAN on August 06, 2009, 05:19:18 AM ---So, is inadvertently shooting a grizzly because you mistakenly thought it was a black bear...poaching? I am thinking that they thought they shot a blackie, strange color phase, with really really long fur and huge claws.... Heck,they even paraded it around town and were showing it off to others.....then someone smartened them up about it....and they dozed it under to get rid of it..... Sounds like a couple of knuckleheads....not sure I would call this one poaching. Big game violation nonetheless... --- End quote --- Yep, it's illegal and should be. There has been a bear ID picture in the hunting regs for mulitple years now and warns about the fact you could run into one in unit 113. Hell, I been scouting that unit for the last month and there is signs all over the in woods telling you to make sure you I.D. your bear. My bet is if they'd have turned themselves in once someone pointed out to them it was a grizzly, they woudn't be facing the charges that they now are. |

A while back there was some test thing with pictures of bears to see if you could tell them apart, anyone know where that went? --- End quote --- That was Montana's qualifier test to purchase a black bear tag. I suggested that to the biologist up there that they do something like that here as well. |

Something must not have clicked with these fellas then....it appeared that they transported the bear in plain sight of other hunters? |

Why would you purposely haul a Grizzlry Bear home in the back of an open truck unless you really didn't know? And like Ice said somebody smarten them up when they got home so they buried it!!! Pope it looks like an open and shut case!!!......... :chuckle: |

That sure turned into an expensive moose hunt. It probably would've been cheaper to go on a guided moose hunt in Canada. I wonder if they filled their moose tags. |
