Shooting Bears

SAMIAM · 10-12-2009, 06:56 PM

Just my opinion.....I'm not knocking anyone. First of all,I don't understand why anyone would hunt a bear except for bragging rights.They are related to the dog family and their meat is tough,stringy and greasy.
As far as safety is concerned,no one in NH has ever been killed or badly injured by a black bear that I know of.They are afraid of people unless cornered with cubs.They will run away at any oportunity.....we have had customers taking pictures right next to bears that were rolling on the ground around our dumpster.
I'm a gun owner and have no issue with my many friends that hunt for food.
Last thought.....if you want to be a great white hunter,go in the woods like a man......don't ambush a hungry bear beside a dumpster!

Personally this is another reason I support the right to arm Bears,
