What is the ecological benefit of managing the Grizzly population in the lower 48 through hunting? In other words, what is the detrimental effects on the ecosystem of a Grizzly population that is not adequately managed?
If hunting as a management tool is not appropriate (according to some)...
Yep, the Tester deal is totally different than the Grizzly situation. But it shows that thinking outside the box, there is always a solution. It just might take an unconventional approach.

Not exactly on point, but makes your point.
Nothing is impossible. Be fearless.
I am still new to the hunting space, but one overly broad observation I have made is that “we” are unorganized and afraid.

The next...

Now the big opening weekend had arrived. My daughter wanted to come with for the first weekend. So we went out the day before and did a last scout to make sure the Antelope were still where I had seen then the weekend before. We found some, but not as many as the weekend before. And we...
Part 1 - My first NV Antelope hunt was not like any of the umpteen versions I thought of leading up to season. It was unexpected, and filled with, well I’ll get to that . . .
I drew a rifle shorter than ears tag this year. Odds were only about 11% for me to draw, so I must have gotten a really...
