Bow, Dunbarton and environs will, before long, be a place where one would rarely encounter a black bear or moose. Maybe not even peace and quiet. So I appreciate any and all nature that may come our way at the periphery of wilderness. I do not regard the shooting of a docile, motionless moose or ambling, disinterested bear as sport in this era. I must be missing the challenge.
Nature kills the weakest, ensuring the strongest.
Man kills whatever is in his sights, ensuring his own decline. I am saddened to think of that stuffed bear, on our receding edge of wilderness. This survey was mailed to every registered Bow voter. Naturally I was interested in the results, seeing though I made the extra effort to pick one up. I received copies of the results as soon as they were released Sept. 11 and 13.
