Wyoming to vote on biggest grizzly hunt in lower 48 states

[GOYABEAN]

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming could allow grizzly bear hunting for the first time in decades when state officials vote Wednesday whether to allow as many as 22 grizzlies to be killed this fall outside Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.

I would love to hunt grizzly bears. Sadly I don't see myself getting 1 of 22 tags. 6K for a tag, really?

Of the 56 known and suspected deaths of Yellowstone grizzlies in 2017, 40 were caused by people including 19 killed by elk hunters and others in self-defense.

Is this common core math? ...or did someone fat finger the keyboard?

I am assuming out the 40 human related kills, 19 were self defense cases.

Necessary as grizzlies are getting out of control.

I could possibly modify my rock that keeps tigers away to keep grizzlies away.

They met their projected recovery numbers in the lower 48 years ago and should have been removed from the ESA by it's own definition, however between PETA people, the ignorant media, opinions based on ignorance, and piss poor judges blocking any changes in the courts it's been a long time delayed.

Same story with wolves as well as mountain lions in some states like CA.

They may be, but I feel wolves (while both being a necessary part of the food chain and ecosystem) are far far worse than the grizzly population. Looking at it as a hunters point of view, and the major decline in elk population where the wolves had gone unchecked for too long.

The math is fine.

Can't be.

56 known and suspected

So, it's a guess.
