Much has been said on both sides of the bear referendum and just about every point has been made over and over.

The reality is that the passing of the bear referendum will not stop hunting. It will not take anyone’s business away. It will not stop bear management. It will only change the methods.

Change is a good thing. The choice is whether the most important goal is how much money you make or how you make it.
