...and forming "bear rescue teams" with plans to tend to wounded bears...

Somehow, this seems like a particularly stupid thing to attempt.

No-no! This is SMART thing to do. Yes, a very smart thing indeed! I think it might be time to deflate a few misconceptions about the animal kingdom, and ol' briar Bear will almost certainly do the honors.

...camouflage-clad bear hunters hit the fields and forests here Monday...

OK, as a non-hunter (not an anti-hunter, please note), I have to confess some confusion. Camouflage? I thought hunters were supposed to wear blaze orange so as to avoid shooting each other. Are bears colorblind? How about deer and other quarry? Does wearing orange decrease your odds?

Actually, these loons are probably hoping that one of their halfbright members will be maimed or even killed for the PR value. For all I know, they might be running around the woods dressed up as freakin' bears hiping to get shot. I wouldn't put it past them.

I am so sad I just got my hunting license but you need a bear seminar and tag to hunt bear. I missed the tag applicitation deadline and therefore did not take the bear seminar. THen last week they announced there are thousands of tags left over.

High velocity lead poisening is a much better way to die than what we do to chickens and cattle. Bear is just another meat for the dinner table and I'm all for "wild" game. Much healthier.

"...you need a bear seminar.."

Ok.. this is a new one on me. What the heck is a bear seminar. They don't give bear seminars in Alaska.

I noticed that, too. Others here on past threads did mention how bears can see colors.

Hi All-

Ever notice that the knuckleheads writing letters to the newspapers saying how "terrible" the bear hunt is live in places like Cape May, Hoboken, Colts Neck, or somewhere else where bears AREN'T found? They might not be protesting quite so loudly if they had large bearprints in the snow three feet from their back door.

I usually wear green/brown camo head to toe but with a blaze orange camo vest....it breaks up my pattern for deer or bear vision but stands out for hunters to see. Blaze camo:

"Today, for us, is a very sad day," said Lynda Smith, president of Bear Education and Research, one of two groups that unsuccessfully sued to delay the hunt. "They're here to kill them, we're here to help them."

Lynda, you gonnna help them some day eat your babies?

This is so stupid, one has a problem even commenting.

Lord have mercy, these are wild animals who have their territory shrunk. How about Lynda go out and trank shoot 'em and bring the to live in her home? Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Baby Bear. Give them soft comfy beds, porridge and tea?
