JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — A fierce critic of grizzly bear hunting who has made a career photographing the animals has drawn a tag for Wyoming’s first such hunt in 44 years.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide reported Thursday that Tom Mangelsen drew No. 8 on an issuance list that will allow up to 10 grizzly hunters into the field starting Sept. 15. He was up against 3,500 Wyoming residents and 2,327 nonresidents vying for a shot at the tags.
Mangelsen, who credited being chosen to “dumb luck,” was among scores of people from around the country who applied for the tags as a means of civil disobedience intended to slow the hunt. Wildlife managers say the tactic is legal.
The hunt for which Mangelsen’s tag is valid will end after the first female bear is killed. Up to 10 male grizzlies can be killed.

I thank him.
I love it!
I wish you could see the photo on Wolf Patrol where hound hunters are ganging up on a black bear. It’s just atrocious, the selfishness of people. People like Tammy Baldwin (D) I don’t think are even aware of just how bad it is, know much about hunting, or they would never let it go unrestricted as it is. Or do they? It really bothers me that wildlife is dispensable for the Democrats. I expected that from Republicans, but not Democrats.
