Either way this turns out NO,you "can not shoot or kill any bear accompanied by a cub or any cub so accompanied regardless of its weight;"

[Bearhunter]

we generated several hundred calls but need more.If you havent called please do!!!

[bearsnva]

Hope you guys can defeat this!!!! I can't imagine a houndsman/woman taking a bear this small but can see someone that has never seen a bear before getting excited and doing this. My gosh, a 50# dressed weight bear isn't as big as most of the dogs on it. This makes no sense, but trying to figure how people think gets more difficult by the day.

I see were they amended the bill 3063 yesterday but not where the changed the weight limit unless I'm looking at it wrong. I'm assuming its still 75 and 50 ???

yep your right, If anyone hasnt called please call now.Ive emailed several delegates and senators.Its looking more and more like they are tryin to railroad this one thru.There are 18 other bills in natural resources committee that have beeen there longer,this bill has already cleared and went to Judicary.

[sherlock14]

Well lets just hope that most hunters won't kill one that small. The only good thing I see happening this year is that we're not having the early season so maybe ,hopefully most of the small ones goes to den early. That's probably the only way they'll live.

[Bearhunter]

Bill was read on the floor for the first time yesterday.2nd reading is Monday.We still can stop this!!! If you havent called yet do so Monday morning. You can go to this web site and find your delegate and email them!!Even if you have called email your delegate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
