The Senate voted this week to abolish a rule restricting certain hunting practices on national wildlife refuges in Alaska including trapping, baiting and aerial shooting of animals like wolves and grizzly bears.

Bear is good until you’ve eaten just so much of it, for me it took a total of two bears and the wrong kind of barbeque sauce that just brought out the bear flavor instead of covering it. Up until then I was good with all the bear chili, and even some of the steaks with just onions and salt.
Since then I save my bear rounds for the ones who might want to put me in a recipe of their own.
Although if grizzlies are delisted in the lower 48, which is inevitable based on the talk from some state wildlife officials.
Wow,what did your Facebook friends say?
grizzlies coming to my state,gonna get some bear spray when I go camping,that will piss them off!
You gonna die. In pieces
What does bear taste like? Does it taste like beef or pork? If they eat a lot of fish, do they taste fishy?
Taste like chicken.
Grow your own bay tree. Fresh bay leaf has lots of flavor.
Except bears. Bears will just kill you.
I've had wolves in my garbage barrels at 3 am and bear lying in the woods nx to house watching my coming and goings. They realize pretty quick there's better food inside than outside. Obama was an enemy of predator control. We once had a park ranger say that if tourists didn't hear wolves howlin, he wasn't doing his job; unreal.
No amount of seasoning or smoke can take it out.
Many things I'd rather eat than bear.
If anything like mine, an onslaught of saying the Senate just allowed the killing of hibernating bears in Alaska.
Lots of likes from the same ones who were aghast at the got ya article. It was obviously meant to provoke ire, while the regulations were using some vague language to all but eliminate non-sustinance hunting.
We can’t fix healthcare or taxes, but hey, lets go shoot some bears !
Was in Priest Lake Idaho staying at a Log resort there/
Talked to the maintenance man there about hunting.
He said he was a bow hunter.
I asked what he targeted.
Griz he said.
I said soooo you take your compound bow and what a Desert Eagle on your side?
He said, No. During bow season you can hunt with a Bow, No firearms.
Real big cajones.
Really big Cajones...
Really small brain.
Funny...
Mr. Natural sez... Gee I don’t know what Mr. Natural would say.
Back in the seventies when I was up in Alaska I meant bartender up there who was touting the .458 Winchester magnum as THE round to use for both moose and Bear. He said if you want to hunt Moose, plant roses moose love roses. He said if you’re hunting grizzly your first shot is to the hips which puts the grizzly on his butt and as he sits there on his broken hip he raises his paws in the air and growls mightily while you Blow the heart from his chest with your second shot. He swore by it. I scouted for trout instead.
In the late 90’s I was again up in Alaska working a healthy terrestrial based antenna rehab project for Alaska state and OGA’s. When we surveyed antennas that were situated in very remote areas we would go there either by a landing craft or sometimes a helicopter and we always had a heavily armed guard with us because the Bears were a big issue.
I was told that in some areas where bears were protected that when the Bears heard a gunshot they would equate that with a fresh-kill and would head towards the gun shot looking for whatever game was bagged. Some Hunters would not shoot these bears for self-protection they would just leave the area and let the Bears have the game. But my point here is that the Bears were accustomed to hearing gunshots and overtime learned that there was some free meet to be had with little effort.
I think there might be a time window for cancelling Obama rules, where if the Senate doesn’t cancel them, they become permanent and harder to repeal.
