I'm going to watch 60 mins, it was on earilier but I was busy. Here is Alberta there is a season, but it takes 7-9 years to get drawn, and I think in some of the zones that have seasons you would be hard pressed to find a shooter. There was 73 tags given out and out of that maybe 6-8 bears will be taken. I think that the government closed some zones that had a huntable population, but I am thankful that the "anti's" weren't able to close it completely.
