The problem with these polls is that the numbers are based on emotion and not on science. Many of these so called environmental groups are opposed to hunting at any level. If we had 50,000 grizzlies in the lower 48 they would still do their best to convince the public that we only had 50 for no other reason than that they don't want them hunted. When the grizzly bear was placed on the list there were certain criteria dealing with numbers and areas of occupation that had to be met to consider delisting. All of them have been met! Some for a long time now. I don't know how the game and fish go about counting bears but they estimate that there are about 600 in Wyoming where I live. I find that very hard to believe considering the number of square miles in the bear recovery zone and the number of bears people see in the woods each fall. Rest assured that this issue will be tied up in court for quite some time.
