[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1067288, member: 4191"] Rick Sinnott was quite protective of bears during his employment with F&G. He was removed from his duties at one time late in his career, because of his derogatory comments toward residents, along the lines that they weren't doing enough to prevent bear/human problems in residential areas. His supervisors removed him from responding to problem bear complaints. In simplest terms, he was more protective of the bears than he was the people, in that instance. A lot of the information in his article is good information. But I read it with some understanding that when there were bear/human incidents, the bears were always less at fault than the people were. His article invests a lot of time telling us that firearms can kill people, rather than sticking with their value as a bear defense tool. Don't we already know that firearms are designed to kill? As I mentioned earlier, the current ADF&G employee in my area of the State responsible for responding to bear complaints has no use for bear spray. His preference is the Remington 870 12 gauge shotgun with Brenneke slugs. [/QUOTE]
