Title: Poll: Grizzly Bear Hunting in Alberta
Post by: bearpaw on March 05, 2013, 02:52:17 PM: Please vote, this only take a few seconds. After you vote you can see the vote count, the count was 50% in favor and 49% against. We need hunters to weigh in on this.

Is it time to consider re-establishing a grizzly bear hunt in Alberta?

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.

Oh, and yes to Alberta as well.

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 :twocents: in.
