dead bears & counting

1) Bears can count. 2) In May, an NHL hockey player, Vancouver Canucks forward David Booth ((left wing - Detroit, Michigan)) "unleashed the fury" and paid big bucks to hunt bear using a baiting technique, i.e. sit quietly in a tree platform and wait for a bear and other bears may come and go for the bait, but only a certain big, male bear is shot.

on bears counting: one fish, two fish,
red fish, blue fish

Then again, last year more bears were killed in Alberta by wildlife officials--145 bears killed in oilsands--because they're habituated to humans. So, would this baiting habituate bears to humans.

Anyways, between that or whatever--like oil camp garbage--searching, searching. oh wait: 仍然搜索 eblogger ... Twin River Outfitting (Your Host:  Blair Inscho) has a kill rate of over 100 % (?). Blair recommends that "you pass on anything under 6 ft,, as there will be better!"

A delicious-4bears-bait is a mixture of old oatmeal, molasses and beaver guts.

And: Vast amounts of this area have never been baited!! yadayada.. clover, dandelion.. yada... Our hunts take place in a number of areas including ; logged off areas, pipelines, wallows, salt licks, cut lines, natural meadows, fields and other intriguing sites.

And they also do wolves. See article: Wildtv.ca on Shaw. Bear baiting is illegal in British Columbia, Canada and 18 states in the USA.

3) There aren't a lot of ways for a grizzly bear to die. Bear 71. A 2012 interactive National Film Board of Canada (NFB) web documentary won a Cyber Lion Award at the 59th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which took place June 17-23 in Cannes. The wikipedia article lists more installations.

4)  Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Deveopment (AESRD): southwest 2011 DNA samples and grizzly bear reports.

bad news - (bears145)(wolves296)

In 2011, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development says Fish and Wildlife conservation officers killed 145 bears and 68 were in the Fort McMurray bitumen sands region - habituated to food and garbage.

sustainable... conservation... conservation... sustainable...

Alrighty. That's 3x more than 2010 and the "highest in recent history." Moreover, no individual or company was charged for "lax garbage management," even after the Conklin dump incident in '09. source

Wolves in Idaho, not good either. Read more: savewolves.org

speculation: rat3pack to$ monetize$ wolfhunt

Gary, and whats-his-name (covert, deleted emails or he's not here), and former energy minister Rick got it in with the hunting crowd and lodges and high end US trophy game hunters. And we all know the thousand plus wolves gotta go, for the woodland caribou recovery, says federal environment person, or no says another.

"Canada’s Minister of Environment Peter Kent supports a plan that would shoot or poison wolves that have been preying on caribou." Or was that paradis industry, can never remember, which is switch.

What's that worth, a heli hunt per wolf? Co-inkadinkly, and must be nice bizniz as usual fer flyboyz, "What is it, and why does vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin support the practice?"

Haha! Reminds me of the funny Armstrong ranch story, 2006, and the hunt: Dick Cheney shoots Harry Whittington, mistakes a campaign contributor for a quail.
