Feds to allow Grizzly hunts?

[Cavedweller]

This somewhat confusing article, which has appeared in several media outlets, says federal officials have determined that grizzly populations in the Yellowstone and Glacier areas are no longer endangered, possibly allowing for grizzly hunts after another year of "further study." But all of the quotes of federal officials seem to indicate they are against hunts.

They have so much livestock damage in Montana they need to let people hunt them! But we probably won't see that for some time unfortunately

It would not be my idea of a good time, but for those who want to do it, I say, "Go for it!!"

I'd like to hunt one just 1 time. I have alot of experience with black bears but I don't think it would prepare for the way grizzlies can act

Don't use Jedediah Smith or Hugh Glass as hunting guides....

My biggest black bear to date was 560# on a certified scale, black bears typically run the other way when encountered. The folks I know that have fooled with grizzlies say the complete opposite.....they wanna kill ya!

Thats why my 1885 Winchester in 45-70 has a 32" barrel to keep that dang thing farther away from me as I try to jack in another round. LOL. 405 gr modern 45-70 HOT load would be my Grizzly smoke pole.
