hunters in Yukon need your support

Hello guys,

there is a discussion now about changing the regulations and prohibiting hunting spring grizzly from the road in the south Yukon.

of course this is a just a beginning and we dont what is the final goal.

there is a big talk about that in town and of course the hunters want to choose what they want to hunt and when and how of course.

im not a road hunter myself but that doesnt mean im against especially when we all know how difficult it for the access is and to remember that poor lady killed by the grizzly this last month was on the road system that they re thinking for the closure.

less bears hunted means more conflicts


please take the time to review the data.

I think you are spot on about the bear encounters.

While we do not have grizzlies, we have plenty of black bears. They haven 't been hunted in Years. In the last year or so, we have had serious increases in problem bears. There have been 2 attacks within a 2 mile radius of my house. Just a week or 2 ago, a man shot a black bear in his living room after it broke in his house 2 nights in a row.

I woumd hate to see what would happen if these were Grizzlies .
