Hunters and lovers of wildlife are facing off in seven states, and their weapons are ballots. Animal protection activists have gotten a record number of measures on ballots this year. Voters in Idaho, Washington, Michigan and Massachusetts will decide measures that would ban various combinations of baiting and hounding of bears, cougars and other wildlife. Colorado voters are being asked to ban traps that clamp the animal’s leg. And an Alaska measure would ban aerial tracking of wolves on the same day they’re shot. But hunters in Oregon are fighting back. They have an initiative to repeal a 1994 measure that banned the use of dogs and bait to hunt cougars and black bears.
