Dear Sir:
This is in response to Rob Brown’s column, No Picnic for Bears of Jan. 12, 2011.
Enough is enough. You have taken it too far, Rob. Go ahead and talk about grayling all you want and no one will care.
This is too much for me to bite my tongue on. Have you nothing better to do than stereotype about mud tires and mullets?
I find it so strange that you would admit to jotting down licence plate numbers of vehicles using a parking lot. How paranoid and weird you are.
The hunters are legal. The Lakelse Valley is part of the Kitimat management unit. Hunting grizzlies there is legal as it should be.
Last year there were 10 grizzlies that were destroyed by local RCMP and conservation officers. Clearly our government needs to change a few things.
First would be to hand out more limited entry hunts for regions 6-10 and 6-11. That would allow more bears to be taken and fewer bears sadly being destroyed in town.
So what were you doing up there, Rob? Just doing a little catch and harassing with Lakelse Lake steelhead?
If you were able to have things your way we would all be forced to float dry flies.
You and your columns do absolutely nothing to promote the northwest. You would be better off ranting in a political column than in the sports section.
It’s about time to hang up your hat, old man.
