JP, not to sound like an old fart that I am, but this issue will never be over. The referendum was only the beginning. They thought they could beat it in one fell swoop but went away realizing that they took too much at one time. Now they are regrouping and will attack bear hunting one method at a time. They know that most Mainers are opposed to trapping bears. They will win this battle if it goes back to referendum - dogs are iffy and so is baiting. Not my feelings but I feel this is a good representation of Mainers.
As far as the committee to study methods used by trapping, I think for now this is a stall tactic to appease the antis. DIFW don't want to do it and have already said they don't have any money to do it.
