That's right folks, the Grizzly bear has been taken off the endangered species list....(Pause for cheers). While it is unlikely to be able to hunt them any time in the near future, it is a strong possibility that within 10 years, we may be able to enjoy the hunt of a lifetime.

This has been a long time coming, and is truly a victory for big game hunters here in the northwest who have had to put up with these big bears for a long time. Now, if a bear is killed in self defense, the repercussions shouldn't be anywhere near what they have been in the past. Outdoorsmen and hunters have achieved a true victory here in such liberal times. I am truly shocked.
