Ontario spring bear hunt to resume

chadwick

when i lived in WA my neighbor was upset & also scared for my safety because i fed a couple raccoons off the back deck. at night coyotes went to their chattering & he & his wife were terrified. i was pretty much astounded at their behavior, i mean they would be on the back deck & literally call it quits & go inside when the coyotes started up.

dude, we were drinking beers & smoking it up. what frickin gives, man?

oh no! a fucking raccoon, run for your lives!!!

these are the geniuses that chemical the fuck out of the lawn

chemicals do not scare them, raccoons & coyotes do
something is very much off in this picture
& i was the asshole for having dandelions in my yard
like i give two shits about dandelions bothering me

dude needs a sack

even flow - question mark

With viagara at an all time high, I need some black bear gall bladder to stir up me loins.

If it's not applicable, then how is it OK to live it full time? Both the concept and directive don't make sense to me.

I mean, why SHOULD it be lived full time? So what if someone hunts on the weekend and eats the meat during the week? If it's a means of providing, or bartering even, that's their business.

Same goes for fishing, as mentioned / questioned earlier.

I could see someone hunting if they lived in the wild but the average person living in a city or suburbia- just seems wrong to me. I can't help it, I'm for the birds... and deer, coyotes, bears, lizards, humans- all them there critters.

Brian - on your earlier post, I'm not sure I get this:

1. Realistic suggestion: If hunters are hunting for food should it not be because they need that food for survival? We live in a society in which hunting is also exclusively unnecessary. AND if someone is going to hunt they should go the full measure and live totally off the land. No weekend warrior hunting. Seems like a fair choice: live in civilization or live off the land- no going back and forth as one pleases- that's cheating!

Why would it be either/or? If it's legit hunting, it's no one's business that they get their meat via that method and maybe hit up the store for other stuff such as rice, fruit, bread, etc.

What about suburban folks going on the occasional fishing trip? Honest question - is that considered hunting as well? Does method (rod & reel vs. spear, for instance) make a difference?

I believe"Legit hunting" is a human concept not applicable to 2014. I just think if you're going to live that way you should live it full time and not be a weekend animal killer. I know- me and my screwy ideas. :-)

Well humans have been over consuming and screwing with the balance of nature since they have been in existence. I am not sure I can agree with your notion that hunting is not legit "in 2014" though... Many animals are capable of overpopulating and "screwing with nature" and do.

Humans have only been upsetting the balance of nature since the advent of agriculture and that is a small percentage of our existence on earth. We humans living post advent of agriculture are the only ones who upset the balance in a manner unchecked for such a long time. In nature, if a species surpasses carry capacity its population crashes making it very unlikely for animals other than humans to "screw with nature" for very long. Nature keeps things in balance- we are living outside those natural balance... but only for a time.
