Grizzly Hunt Ban in BC

FLHTCUI said:
Have you copied the whole News Release?
I'm asking because the topic has been discussed at a local hunting/sporting goods store and the info they have is that edible portions of said Bear will have to be removed to a meat processing place or ones residence.
Much along the lines as one would do with Black Bear.
So, was that the whole article or a portion there of or was it somebodies Press Release suggesting it was the Provincial Governments Press Release.
Having just read some of the drivel posted on the CBC I see nothing stating that this is the Province OF BC's initiative or that of the NDP.

VIC, I just hyperlinked the one you posted and didnt see anything resembling official press release.
But, the stake holders have been informed or had been informed a few weeks back, thats where I based some of my reply from...

It will still be a Trophy hunt, just they have to take the meat with them .

If there is a fact supportable biological/species conservation reason for discontinuing the grizzly bear hunt that's one thing.
If it's a purely political ideological action that's quite another.

I don't think there's a conservative government in canada now including amazingly in alta.
Not that the conservative anti gun anti hunting track record is any better than that of the Liberals or NDP.
The whole country is out of the closet as nancy ass lefty socialist.
Once hunting is gone there is no longer any demonstrable need for guns except for indigenous peoples who nominally live off the land.
You know where this is going.
I don't need to finish the narrative.

Manitoba has a Conservative government, and the Saskatchewan Party, a right of center concern, runs the show next door. Don't worry about Alberta, the NDP won't see a second term there.

I was born in the UK, and the above comment is exactly what will happen. No reason / no ownership. Then range only, then complete ban. Barnie / Bambi / end game.

You have been there and done that and hindsight from personal experience is 20/20.
That's the direction things are going in but they don't want to hear it.
A couple of provinces are already restricting non-restricted firearms to 'range only' outside of hunting seasons unless you get a provincial 'permit' but you get silence when you mention that on here.
Excuse me I'm 'prattling'.

Reads ominously like the related sections of the federal criminal code and firearms act for RESTRICTED FIREARMS.
Difference being that the federal government has the constitutional jurisdiction to make firearms law and the provinces don't.
This is firearms law touted as game and fish law.
An end run by an anti gun provincial government around the constitution.
Hopefully the courts will get to decide this.
But I kinda doubt it.

If you want to prevent poaching catch, punish and sanction poachers not everyone else.

Just to clear up the specifics of this and illustrate its utter stupidity.....technically you can still hunt g-bears here in b.c....whats changed is you must now take all edible meat home....and you MAY NOT retain hide skull claws etc. If you remove the hide head claws etc from the bush you must turn it over to the appropriate govt agent. While technically not shutting down the hunt....the reality is they have shut down the hunt...noone is going hunting grizz for the meat alone. I cant cut and paste the actual press release as i am on my phone but i can assure you this ludicrous information is accurate.

"Hunt for meat to be allowed" -

"Hunters will no longer be able to possess the hide or the head or the paws of the grizzly bear."

"It's not yet clear what hunters will be expected to do with those bear parts, but they would not be leaving the province, he said." [Natural Resources Minister Doug Donaldson]

This new regulation shows the utter stupidity of the NDP. So I can hunt grizzly, I can kill a grizzly, I an eat a grizzly......But I'm not allowed to take the hide or head. The dead grizz doesn't need it anymore.

This really is the highest form of stupidity. So now a hunter can't keep the hide for taxidermy purposes. But as a guy who's trophy room is plenty full already, how is it any different if I hunt a grizzly and take a trophy picture? Is that any less "trophy" hunting?

Why do I have a feeling that guys will keep hunting bears tomorrow for the same reason they do today -- for the quality of the hunt and the memories to last a lifetime. In the end, the biggest losers are the taxidermists. As well as anyone who was holding on to any faint hope that society was governed by well-informed people with good intentions.
