Dave, the animosity between you and I notwithstanding, I sincerely congratulate you on that post, one of the finest comments on hunting on any forum that I have yet read.
One point, the Grizzly attacks on hunters and others, are often happening in places close to or in towns, the one at Fernie, last year was a place I knew well when I joined the BCFS 50 years ago next month.
The bugg*rs, often come right into Nelson, in areas built up 110 years ago and the old "Great Northern" right of way from Troop Junction to the US border, now a hiking trail for Yuppies and Yuppy puppies, is often closed due to so many foraging for early forbs and winter carrion.
That said, I think that you have "hit the nail", etc.
