RE: Politically correct bowhunters
ORIGINAL: hardcorehunter I am not Canadian and can't answer why they do what they do up there. From what I have heard this about to be reversed because the ON bear pops are too high. To be honest, Canadians don't bear hunt and there may have not been enough pressure from Americans to keep the spring bear hunt open. I have bear hunted 7 times and only one was in the spring. |

U.S. hunters stop traveling to Canada to hunt and your outfitters lose quite a bit of money, again, be it in the spring or fall. |
RE: Politically correct bowhunters
First off, Have youbeen sleeping,some states already lost their Bear and Mountain Lion season to these people because they were underestimated. Second,do you actually have any idea how much money these PETA freaks take in? You act like it's chump change. Their list of supporters is long and wealthy. Third, just because we don't like them, doesn't mean their not smart. Fourth,Thay don't go at it on a National level thay pick individual States and go after them, therefore they don't need that much money. Fifth, They don't go after Hunters, they go for the sympathy of the % of fence sitter's some of you seam to think don't matter. Sixth, I'm sure you know how the Voteing system works, they get enough signatures on petitions it get's on the ballot and gets voted on! All's they need to do is come in circulate enough fliers with good stuff on it like Ted blowing away a caged fuzzy face lamb in front of a bunch of women and Tred blabbering his mouth off about Bear baiting and the next thing you know, it will take every Hunting Organization and every dime you can scroung up to fight these people. How much money the State takes in, onHunting and Fishing License has nothing to do with it!!! It is the Individual voter that desides not the state!! Don't take these people lightly!!!

ORIGINAL: Washington Hunter A lot of the revenue generated from bear hunting, be it in the spring or fall, comes directly from the states. The sportsmen here in the U.S. travel to Canada to hunt and with them comes money. Money has more influence than anything else in the world and we all know it.

U.S. hunters stop traveling to Canada to hunt and your outfitters lose quite a bit of money, again, be it in the spring or fall. Here is the skinny version of this matter. From a Canadians perspective. Ontario, well its ontario. In all honesty the most hated province to us western folk other than Quebec. I agree that the bear outfitting was pumping alot of money in to that area but do you have any idea of the population of that province, or better yet the cultural diversity? In the south they do not have a sniff about what goes on in the wild or here out west. Problem is there is12 million of them there almost half of Canada's population. Guess what happens at election time, well we get to vote yes but after the east has tallied up the votes we might as well turn the T.V off because our seats will not change anything. There are so many of them there that we cannot make changes in our own country, so how do you expect to? Do you think the banning of a spring bear hunt in Ontario is going to affect the cabby driver in Toronto because he won't have the hunters to pick up from the airport? Or the hotel owners whorent athousand rooms to hunters each year but a thousand a month for the gay pride convention? Gimme a break. Would this ever happen in sask? no because we have a pretty redneck population of 1 million who likes to hunt, drink pil, and streak at rider games.However in the near future it will come in that American waterfolwers will have to be guided in sask. Now i expect the number of guys coming up to goose hunt drop drastically. Thats hotel money lost, meals, tags, fuel, shopping etc. Huge spin offs lost from this law. Yes outfitters will make some of this back but not the amount lost. It is not always about money. American hunters going way beyond limits, leaving geese in the field, bribing farmers for permission, etc has all led to this. HCH made a good statement b4 stating that he does not know why we do things the way we do things. Exactly my point. |

Ah, alright Hia.
You'll have to forgive me as my knowledge of Canada is fairly limited. See, I learned something today! ;) |
RE: Politically correct bowhunters
ORIGINAL: _Dan Like I said earlier, in Ontario it doesn't matter how it affects the economyin the NW part of the province. The money means nothing. Take a look that the size of Ontario. The laws are being made by those from the southern part of the province. City folk. These same people have ZERO clue what goes on in the NW. Sad but true. |
