That is one of the better posts on issues such as this that I have read on any forum. I have zero desire to kill ANY bear and with my birth/background,I have had the chance to do so, legally, scores if not hundreds of times, I just do not find it challenging and do not care for bear meat.
However, I would love to hunt a Polar Bear, using a dogsled ONLY, with ONE local Eskimo guide or maybe a guy I know in Churchill, as this would be one VERY challenging and authentic hunt.
I will never actually do this, if I can swing the costs of hunting the NWT and Yukon, it will be within the coming five years for Dall's Sheep, Caribou and maybe a Moose.....lotsa bux, even for we Canucks in our own tax-subsidized territories.
Well said, Bill, very sound reasoning and I suspect you are right on, to use a now-archaic term from our longago youth.
