Rad! I've gone hunting before but it involved a lot of Beer, Pockets full of Hollow-Points and Groundhogs...

I'd like to try real Hunting once though. Some of my Relatives on the Island and in the Interior do it quite a bit. Moose is soooo tasty!

maybe he does it to keep other people from killing the meese (my plural for moose FYI).

admittedly though, moose is really tasty.

On a side note, don't you think it would be more fun for hunters if they were only allowed to use knives - I would be more than impressed by anyone that can take down a grizzly with a 7 inch blade.

I've never understood the fascination of shooting something dead.

What most city folk dont understand is humans are part of the food chain too, its natural for us to hunt things, theres a reason for bear season, cause if we werent out there hunting the occasional bear there would be to many of them which would fuck up the whole chain. If the grizz population was in any kind of danger there wouldnt be a season/draw for them.

also hunting has nothing to do with a fascination of shooting something dead, 99% of the time its for meat, u choose to buy urs from a market i perfer to get my own. The other 1% is an honor thing, grizz are are the most respected predator in north america. As with any hobbies most people have you like to test urself to the max, grizz hunting is the max.

It's called food... a lot of people hunt to feed their families. I understand you're a bleeding heart PETA member and all but it's not like it's being hunted to make a fur coat.

I'm not a hunter myself, I couldn't bring myself to shoot an animal, but I hardly condemn those who do if they do it for the right reasons.

i still think i would be more fun if they just used knives.

Actually, I think PETA is too extreme. This is my personal opinion, I never condemned anyone, just stated that I didn't understand. If you guys truely feel hunting with a gun and all todays modern technologies still constitutes being part of the food chain then by all means.

Hardstylin - if you would like to try and convince me that we need to hunt bears to keep the food chain intact, I wish you luck. While the human population has been increasing over the years, grizzly bears have been declining and is even extinct from some of their native habitats. The only reason why it would seem that you would be overloaded with bears is that you are surrounded by some of the last of their habitat. Nearly half of Canadas population of grizzly bears live in BC.

Just because I live in the city doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on this. I was brought up around hunters and many of my families close friends live half time up in the North.

Now most people that actually go through the process to enter the draw follow the rules and do actually utilize the animal to it's potential. I'm sure you do, but many don't.

Animal activists and politicians wouldn't be involved if their wasn't some sort danger. The NDP actually placed a one year embargo on the hunt, but this was in 'those' days and they were voted out before it was put into effect.

This being said, it's obvious it's something you enjoy and are looking forward to, so I will wish you luck. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Where can I sign up for the draw? I will pay to have someone not hunt.
