The political wind seems to be changing in favor of a return of the spring hunt. However, a spring election is also likely so don't expect to see anything until after the election...wouldn't want to piss off the tree huggers before the election you know. If the existing government is returned with a majority my $2.00 is on the spring hunt being reinstated. And Stubblejumper, as for numbers of bears, we got so many here now they're lined up at the donut shops and strolling the streets of some of our major (northern) cities as bold as brass. That was only a slight exageration. gg.
