New system seems to have a delay for comments . Old system told you when posts were delayed. Maybe its just my problem .
Grizzly have been photographed ( State camera) at the I-90 wildlife overpass near Keechlus Lake in WA State. I do not know why there is a push to restore grizzly as they seem to be doing just that on their own. There was also a grizzly sighting reported near Mt Adams. With hunting losing popularity, animal numbers will increase.
Great interview about the Redoubt and what is taking place with the Liberty state movement. Concise and informative for those of us who do not live in the Region.
Unbelievable that they can peddle their propaganda about how opening hunting season on Grizzlies is going to endanger the species. Actually Wyoming has already lowered the limit to 10 with 1 female, which means in the entire hunt area of Wyoming only one (1) hunter will be afield at a time. I don’t think that’s going to really put a dent in the population. I have many trail camera pictures of Grizzlies, believe me there is no shortage of bears. With wise management these bears can be harvested and help to restore their natural fear of man and allow man to hunt and enjoy them as well. Most people that cry about opening a hunting season for Grizzlies never spend anytime in Grizzly country and don’t have the slightest idea what a truly wild Grizzly looks like. Trekker Out
