Nah, Royaldude is working in the area on some reno.
Gotsto keep the peace in the hood.
Same problem here except it is with deer. Hooves are sharp. Had a fawn born against the wall of our house last year. We have to watch our little guy when he goes out the front door. Take a good look around the corner of the house to see if there are deer lying there.RoyalDude wrote:I'm actually for a little downsizing of the local bear community as we have seen their population and urbanization go through the roof over the last few years.

Whether one likes it or not there are arguments about differences between animals. I mean let's face it, an ant or a mouse is every bit as much of animal as a bear, chicken or humpback whale. People throw the term hypocrite around far too often and far too easily, as if having two (ostensibly) contrasting opinions completely undermines one's position. There are degrees of difference in this world. I believe many would argue that a bear is substantially different than a salmon.

But 99% of the problem are the morons who don't know how to manage their garbage. It's so bad around here, the bears, that the folks in our neighborhood are told to freeze their food scraps like meat until garbage day.

And yest it is COMPLETELY hypocritical to wag your finger at hunters while eating a bacon and egg breakfast and washing it down with a big glass of milk.
If you had any clue how deplorable some of the food production practices were in north america you would never, ever feel sorry for the bear that David Booth killed quickly in that video.

Do you condone Booth's hunting methods? I think baiting is cowardly. No problem here with real hunting.Cornuck wrote:Hard to argue with your logic Pot - odd that we needed 4 pages (isn't a long offseason great!?).
Yes, it's cheating, but it's not the biggest concern in my life. I'd like to see a clean kill, but you're not going to get that with an arrow into a bear whether you bait or not? Should I 'condone' it over the methods used to kill the cows that end up on my plate? How about planting a nice field of alfalfa to attract deer, and then shooting them? Should I condone that?okcanuck wrote: Do you condone Booth's hunting methods? I think baiting is cowardly. No problem here with real hunting.
Not that much different than when a bear is shot with a rifle.okcanuck wrote: How quickly was it killed? What I recall from the video,which has been removed,was the arrow going in, the bear stumbling and running away, the guide spotting the blood and then the bear.
The advantages of bait and blind are that it offers a clean kill. A bow hunter has only a tiny spot on the to execute a clean kill and hunting from a blind with bait is the best practice. Booth should be proud of his shooting to beable to bring down a bear, and especially one that size, with a bow. Is it any different that duck hunters with blinds, decoys and duck calls or rifle game hunters with blinds,and pheromone scented decoys of an Elks pussy.okcanuck wrote: Listen, I have no problem with hunting bear? I have a real problem however with the method of baiting and then hiding in a tree,which, by the way, is illegal in B.C. and 18 states. Booth had to do this hunt in Alberta where it is legal.
