Title: Feds to review Grizzly populations
Post by: Bucks2Ducks on December 11, 2019, 10:58:09 AM: "Federal officials will review whether enough is being done to protect grizzly bears in the contiguous U.S. states after environmentalists sued the government to try to restore the fearsome animals to more areas, according to a court settlement approved Monday."

First the environmentalists successfully sue and get the grizzly seasons shut down before they even start, guess that wasn't enough. As far as I'm concerned the blood is directly on their hands for the several hunters getting mauled and even killed by grizzly's. These bears are dangerous enough when they have some fear of humans, the grizzly's in the lower 48 have no fear anymore. Cutting up an elk while archery elk hunting will be as dangerous as searching the brush for a wounded cape buffalo.

To them, the more hunters get mauled....the better

Wow, Id have trouble expecting my Chessie to have the winter coat to retrieve ducks in frozen water if he was sitting next to the wood stove every time it got below 32deg. I leave the decision to him, and he wont seek warmer shelter then the front porch until it gets below 20deg. But I guess they know whats best, what a joke.
