Here come the bears

[boneaddict]

Already here, but now they are bringing some more to the cascades. Oh boy


I can’t seem to share the link.   25 bears. 5 to 7 over next 10 years.  ( you do the math)

Read this article right after the survey article stating the states wolf population has grown by an average of 23% since 2008. What a mess this state has become 

[vandeman17]

If they were supposed to be here, they would be naturally. Nothing is stopping them from coming down on their own besides lack of things to eat. This should work out well... 

[SWHUNTER]

Hopefully the release sites are made public.
One way or another I just don't see this working out very good. Tons of people out in the mountains now days. You know they will close down access to certain areas because of this.
Good thing they had all those public meetings...

My dad made a good point along time ago The People who are doing this Don’t want you to have guns and they want the predators take care of the elk and deer so you don’t have to but this one might come back to bite them literally, there is hundreds if not, thousands of people up there hiking every summer.
(Where was the vote For this?) it’s not we the people anymore.

The money being used for this would have been better used for improving trails, trail head parking, bathroom facilities, and staff to help with the over use of all trails along highway 20. Anyone that has driven over the North Cascades in the fall the last five years can attest to this. Back in the late 90's there would barely be a car or two parked along the highway. Last fall when coming home in mid October from Eastern Washington the line of cars by the trail heads was nearly a mile in both directions. It just baffles me that any "biologist" would think this is a good idea. Yes, the odds of getting mauled are very low, I have hunted around them and they are very smart, and keep away for the most part. The issue is the amount of people and all the food they will bring with them. Yellowstone is four times bigger than North Cascades, and they have issues out side the park, how will this be different?

This is a snip from a King5 article.

"The bears served as a key part of the North Cascades ecosystem, distributing native plant seeds..."

C'mon guys, who doesn't want more blueberries?!! 

[Duckslayer89]

Eventually they will end camping for bear encounters.

Best be practicing with your pistol , these bears will learn what time a year that hunters are leave by gut piles and boned out carcasses.

It’s not the grizzly to fear, so much as the closures and restrictions that come with the bear.
To see what the grizzly bear recovery zone will look like all one has to do is look at the area around the Salmo Preist wilderness area on the Colville NF.
Entire road systems have been not only closed to entry, but rototilled into oblivion.
If not destroyed other roads have seasonal closures: ,the bear pasture road, which closes for the year August 14th. These closures have created a huge buffer around the wilderness area. Shutting off access to historical hunting, and berry picking areas.
Once the bear is on the ground, once the road systems have been destroyed there is no going back.
The same is true of restrictions enacted “for” Lynx, mountain fox, fisher, Wolverine,wolf, western grey squirrel and any other specie the animal cult people, either employed by government agency’s, or imposter private agency’s can manufacture the statistics of their studies to advance.
The Mountain caribou was in the way of their perfect predator agenda and was culled as a specie in Washington State.

Are you referring to the now extinct from Washington Mountain Caribou? Well that species doesn't count...

Having bears that eat the seed eaters is cheaper than building trails and much better for the environment. I’m actually surprised that for how much I hear people complaining about the amount of non hunters in the woods that they are also complaining about one of the only things that will reduce the amount of non hunters in the woods.

I say bring on the bears. For us who spend thousands to hunt in grizzly country in Montana and Alaska I see all this complaining as people who just don’t understand the real threat to the future of hunting. It’s not the bears, it’s the liberals and this is our only defense to the liberals. IMO

Spandex gets there attention
