Brutal

LOL I actually did crack a smile reading your post.

First on your explaination on grizzlies reproduction. Their production rates are very similar to the black bear. Black bears have survived hunting seasons for years.

Black bear have cubs every other year (basically the same as grizzlies) Fewer and fewer cubs are surviving because of the grizzly and of course of the black bear boars kill all the cubs they can find also. We're having a huntable population of B. bears that are being wiped out because of a protected species. Won't a little management of the grizzly population help these poor (sic) black bears out?

Second you say the "ESA has allowed us to manage these animals". There is no management. "IT'S TOTAL PROTECTION.... PERIOD" I've been into area's that have been shut down because of grizzly bear activity. No hikeing, camping, picnicing, fishing etc. That's protection not management.

The G&F killed a grizzly sow here a couple of years ago. She had killed between $30,000 to $50,000 worth of livestock in her life time. Some rancher really took it in the shorts on that bear. The rancher couldn't even protect his lively hood! BTW that sow weighed in at over 900 lbs. If you know anything about grizzlies you know that is about twice the average weight of a sow grizzly. If you ever go thru Meeteetse stop at the museum and look at her.

I have no idea what it's like to live around big city gangs. But........I hear they are good for the populations in the big cities. They keep the bad guys numbers down which is good for the over all population. If the cops keep killing all these predators (gangbangers) we might have to put them on the ESA...........You know what? I COULD CARE LESS!!!!! I DONT HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEM!!!!!!!! I'm all for protecting the gang bangers because they are becoming endangered. IMO they are good for the overall city enviroment

People that live around grizzlies have a different veiw of them than people that don't have to put up with all the crap that goes with liveing in to area.

Just because your educatated doesn't mean you have any street (or should I say mountain) smarts
