Oops...thought this was a JLo thread... I have nothin' substantial to add as per usual.

Anywhere Ray and nowhere did anyone say complete restoration. That would be complete stupidity, virtually impossible and a massive waste.

Smitty: Might be a slightly evasive answer but; Irregardless of what the Parks decide to do about the restoration of native species I would have no problem not being able to fish for any pure strain species if that what it takes to save or reestablish them. Do I think that fishing should be banned in the NP system? No, that would be a waste of a very low cost management tool. I'm a believer in Quirk Ck too, the problem lies in the inability of the majority of anglers to get beyond 500 metres of their car doors.

I had a 72 Fj, hindsight talkin' I have no idea why I sold it.

My ideal fishing rig What I use is my daily driver work truck, right now it's a Chevy 2500HD

Yous guys are sooooo strange.................. I only rate it a medium

Sorry Smitty, I'll take a shot @ answering later on today

what was the deleted photo? a paris hilton video cake??

Hope ya went fishin' on ur 36er

frickin Shaw as per usual, half loads and stalls out,

Isn't environmental degradation the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of wildlife? If that's the definition then brookies in western Canada have caused environmental degradation by causing the extinction of westslope cutthroat trout in more than several streams in their native range. I would be in favor of any management plan that would drastically enhance the status of any and all native species. Liberal harvest of invasives, poisoning where viable, barriers, closure of sensitive drainages while proper species re-establish and total c+r of natives where not under threat. One only has to look to what the Americans are doing to reestablish their native species and know what should be coming to a Park/Province near you. About time, I'm sick of watching the natives disappear from their streams. All trout are NOT equal.

So? WTF is the problem? So he's as subtle as a train wreck @ 3 am. Its obvious he cares deeply about the fishery. Personally, I find it much more refreshing than the Bow River/Crowsnest pap that usually posted. Truth is they are fubared fisheries that can never be put back. Would I quit fishing the Parks to help a species that been here for thousands of yrs get reestablished? Yup, in a heartbeat! I hung it up permanently if it meant my great grandchildren could enjoy fishing for cutts/bulls/whitefish/grayling/athabascans in the same streams as I/we did 20/30/40/50 yrs ago any where in Alberta

Where do 800 lb grizzlies sleep? Any friggin' place they want to. As to when, what Jeffro said.

That about says it all too, the study may not be as balanced as reported

No kidding, maybe back in the 70's when skins were worth something and I used to get 30-40/winter. A family friend from Siksika used to have a pack of 'yote dogs and he'd get enough pelts to buy a new pickup every spring... of course after a winter of dog runnin' he needed a new pickup every spring.

If they put a dime deposit on timmie's cups I got it made...................

The missing of someone who's passed on before is why there is nothing to fear from death itself, you will be remembered.

Too true Terry, @ the very least I get to depreciate it and I don't get paid if I can't get to the job. The post is more about a person of Dutch extraction pissin' and moanin', you shoulda heard me when I sold @ auction a 3 yr old NH combine for 25% of what I paid. Nice truck though.... Rickr won't think he's havin' it so tough the next time I take him fishin'....................

The man is as slick with the words as a certain engineer turned cased hole salesman, ain't he Rick? Me, I have a much earthier way of stating my observations.

Some people just insist on proving to the world how big a prick they really are.

No *hit, it's why I quit primary agriculture 10 yrs ago.

That was back when we had a 60 cent dollar. Buy a new Canadian diesel, drive it for 6 months and 5-6000 km, sell in the States for US $, convert back to CDN $ and make about 7-10% on your money. Nowadays, with the Manufacturer's incentives we have, when you factor in everything the price of diesel pickups is roughly the same both sides of the Line. I know, I checked. Normally I agree with you and I was looking for one but right now with the incentives, for a couple/3 more grand over a 2 yr old low Km used diesel, I bought a new 09 for 14 grand off list price but in 4 yrs when it's paid for, it'll have should have about 250,000 km. If it turns out to be a good truck I'll mile the SOB out. The one I just parked is @ 450,000Km

buy a new diesel pickup

Holy crap, one lucky 'yote fur sure...... see, native species are survivors

Amazing, Thanks Don Looks like many of early photos were taken after the Big Burn in the Thirties
