Another grizzly found shot dead near Grande Prairie
https://calgaryherald.com/news/local...0-dc19a843ecf4
Absolute garbage. I hope they find whoever did this and come down on them like a ton of bricks.

The Govt is better off allowing a controlled hunt because this is going to become more common as more people encounter G bears. The numbers have to be more than high enough to allow a hunt, even if its a lottery draw for a handful like Mountain Goats. I would bet there are way more G bears in Ab than Mountain Goats.
It is just another case of SSS, except they forgot the Shovel part...

seems to me a hunt would be the answer. this will only continue if they don't.
we're seeing quite a few out here on the prairie and hunters are even getting nervous out here.

The area where these bears were shot is straight bush all the way to grande cache. This has nothing to do with encounters with people/livestock etc. this is just some POS poacher driving around shooting for fun

Probably a lot of truth in that.

There's already another thread going on this.
Someone shot and left a mulie buck and a couple of elk on my place and I couldn't get F and W to come look at them. Someone kills a bear and it's national news.

I agree. Don't seem right to me. Dead black bear 1/4 of a mile up the road from my house. Shot or run over? I don't know. Asked fw to come and get it because I didn't want my dogs in it. Far to busy to come and get it so I hauled it to the bush myself.

Not good for business and it feeds the anti-agenda. I wouldn’t mind hunting one some day with my son.

Are you advocating poaching? I might agree with a localized controlled hunt, but poaching an animal and leaving it to rot is inexcusable. We're not talking about coyotes, or rabbits. Grizzlies are a threatened species in Alberta.

I dont see him saying he advocates it. Hes is stating the inevitable. Like it or not it is going to happen more. It has happened alot in my area as well. I do not agree at all with it in any way but ith the population of Grizzlys being much more than these "studys" say. SSS will happen more

Advocating poaching??? WTF? Read my post again, I am advocating a controlled G Bear hunt. The finding of G Bears shot and left in different parts of Ab is strictly a fact.. And these are just the ones that are found.
The Govt needs to open a hunt for this species, their numbers can easily support it. If you don't think they can, you don't spend much time, if any out in the bush/prairies.

If you are a hunter and you have to shoot a Griz to protect yourself just wait for the social/public **** show you are going to be in.
Even if you do everything legally you WILL be doxd when the media gets hold of this, I'm not sure I'd expose my family to that type of eco-terrorism...
This is not a support of poaching, just an observation what has happened to others.

Correction... we simply pretend that grizzlies are threatened. And the government passed laws based on Stennhouse's pseudo science and human emotion supporting that, and now we have a grizzly problem that's the politicians are very afraid of addressing.
