Wildlife Commission Rejects Petition Requiring Hunters to Carry Bear Spray
Original: Wildlife commission cans petition to require hunters carry bear spray
A wildlife commission has rejected a petition that would have required hunters to carry bear spray. The decision means hunters will not face a mandatory rule to carry the deterrent, which is often recommended in grizzly country as a safety measure against bear encounters. The move is drawing attention from hunters, wildlife advocates and residents in bear-populated regions debating how best to reduce dangerous encounters.
Why now: People are debating hunter safety and bear-encounter prevention after the commission rejected the mandatory bear spray rule.
