Just took all of about a minute and a half to find my two legislators in San Diego from Fish Impaler's link and copy and paste somekindofnick's letter. My senator actually had a bill "for or oppose" option when sending the email. Get on it!
Well will you look at that! From 2012 - 2016 there's almost no fluctuation in population, only a steady increase. Hmmmm, I wonder why????Can't hurt to share population data either, source is DFW.View attachment 47656
Signed, thanksFind your legislators Here http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/ Let them know to let scientists manage wildlife.
When and why exactly?? If so it certainly cannot be for the same reasons or intent as this bill that has been presented. My research shows the only time hunting was suspended in California was for deer between 1917-1926 to protect the population that had fallen to very low levels as a result of unregulated hunting. Bears were classified as furbearers in 1917, there were no restrictions on how, when or how many bears could be killed until 1948. I am genuinely curious as to what you are referring to, another game animal? I would love to hear more information about this if you have it?They did this in the 40's then reinstated hunting in the 50's.
