Here's my take on hunting. It's not a skill. You have a high powered rifle against a defenseless animal that has no idea it's going to be shot.
A "real" hunter (IMO) would sport a loin cloth and maybe have a knife or rock (hey, if you can fashion a spear out of materials gathered in the woods, more power to ya!) and then go after the bear/deer/moose etc.
That would take some skill. Would "hunters" die in the process? Probably. But at least the animal would have a fair chance.
And before people attack me (pun definitely intended) I understand that we need to hunt to control the population and to get rid of the sick and weaker ones, but a cub?
Karma baby!!!
*In my best Forrest Gump impression*, That's all I have to say about that.

Now this was funny.. I'm not a hunter, the only shooting I do is with my camera. While I just couldn't line up an animal in a gunsite and pull the trigger, I "get it" and have zero problem with those that do hunt.
