The thrill of the kill ?

The thrill of the kill ?

Again the President of a Cape Breton Hunting and fishing is worried someone will have to be a victim of a<b> bear </font></b>attack in order for the province to wake up and allow a Spring Bear hunt to go forward. .Says Lands and Forestry Minister Lian Rankin " there is no good compelling reason from a conservation perspective to go ahead with any plans for a Spring<b> bear </font></b>hunt."
The President of the Cape Breton hunting and fishing , " If someone gets hurt or seriously even worse killed then its too late, " Jeff McNeil President of the Port Morien Wildlife Association . His and 21 others affiliated with the Nova Scotia Anglers and Hunters have been lobbying the province for years to allow a Spring<b> bear </font></b>hunt to take place .Standing in the way of reason is a bunch of politicians having too much of in way of sense of, " having a Fall and Spring hunt would be political suicide on the bears part."
Lands and Forests Minister liam Rankin says his decision is rooted in evidence not politics .There is no compelling evidence that would see the numbers are any more than what they are , from a conservation standpoint the numbers have been consistent and harvest levels have been consistent ..the population remains at a good conservative level...any more culls would be disaster to the<b> bear </font></b>population.
The province sold ,3 licences in 20 and estimates 597 animals were harvested and that is up significantly from the Fall hunt of 2009 which seen only 283 animals harvested. Black<b> bear </font></b>hunt season is from September th till December 1st..trapping season runs between October 1st till December 1st.
Rankin said," if it were to become a decision to allow a Spring hunt and the public would have a lot of say they would need to be consulted about such an important decision but as of now the public doesn't have any reason to agree with a Spring hunt and its not what they would like to see happen". McNail points out that the claim is to increasing of complaints about nuisance bears which is an indication that the<b> bear </font></b>population is increasing, and therefore the possibility of an attack.It wasn't all that long ago that a person was attacked by a Coyote and then the province put an all out bounty on Coyotes..McNail claims he has access to pages of reports of bears around public areas and peoples homes..
So is this just the ramblings of a fellow who has a bit of hunting fever in his system or someone who is concerned for public safety ? Or is it politicians and the Minister of Lands and Forests shuffling their feet on a matter that needs attention.? I lived in this Province for all of my 66 years...even though I wouldn't know what a<b> bear </font></b>was when I was a youngster , I have only seen one<b> bear </font></b>in my life here and it was running...hmmm what was a<b> bear </font></b>running from?

 Hi my friend, if there's a Bear close by, leave! I heard that Bears like Snake, they don't want trouble.

well my opinion is there are too many hunters who make a first kill that they get the whats known as " buck fever " originally called so..They are so thrilled to kill something for the first time it kind of gets under their skin..all someone has to do is say there is too much of something and rifles are cocked...bears are more scared of people but then if people don't clean up their garbage ..well we know what happens...

that's true enough but the more garbage people leave lying around and bins are not sealed then bears get more brave and then when bear and people come into the same area ...it after all is a wild animal if people feed the bears then they are gonna get something they don't ask for...natural resources is pretty good they catch and release twice and if the bear comes back a third time well again I know what happens..we all do...
