Yeah, like in Alberta where you can spear a bear and let it suffer and die during the night.

I do not condone this type of hunting it's barbaric, but it is not illegal, what would you have done gone after a wounded bear in the dark with a stick? or wait for help with rifles and spot lights?

MMMmmm. . . poached giraffe.



And a pansy. How hard is it to shoot a trophy? Just go down to the bowling alley and they got a dozen, sitting on shelves waiting to be picked off.

Out of 5 White-tail tags and three Elk tags, 1 5x5 Elk was shot by my son and it was and is delicious. Because there was no other animals deemed good enough to harvest the tags are hanging in the shop un-used,

Not sure what any of your name calling rants have to do with trophy hunting? Are you regarding domestic grown animals on the same par as true trophy hunting, nobody in the hunting industry outside of lazy cheats, regard this as any type of hunting. Canned hunt anyone?

One of the biggest problems with trophy hunting is that the animals that are considered trophy worthy are the alpha males: the breeding stock necessary for a healthy herd or pack. Killing them condemns the herd to being sickly and easier prey for carnivores. Then the wolves get accused of killing indiscriminately and they need to be culled. In fact, it is the trophy hunters that need to be culled.

So all the breeding that the alpha male did before he hit his prime is erased from the gene pool? Or that maybe 1:8-10 trophy hunter will kill, somehow it will decimate a herd compared to a meat hunter that is probably 1:1 that is also after the most fit animal?

When his kin are bred by inferior males, yes. You stats suck. Trophy hunters do not normally kill just any animal, they kill trophies. Meat hunters don't normally want old, tough meat. You are justifying your killing with false info. I lived with the animals in the forest for ten years, in intimate relationship to all the living beings in my area. I know how the real world works, unlike weekend warriors who flit in and out without an understanding how life in the wild works.

I'll respect your stance if you will respect mine. My experience is driven from owning an Outfitting service, started by my Dad in the 60's, I joined in the late 80's until we sold our White-tail and Bear service in 2006 just before the recession and keeping our Moose and Elk tags. As well as a running a mixed farm against the forest edge, I lived my whole life surrounded by these beautiful animals, Mother nature cruelly kills way more animals (disease, starvation, freezing, worms, ticks etc.) than true hunters will ever kill. I am not going to argue against a fair number if idiots do kill without thought or remorse, but they should be put in the rotten apple category.

Northern Ontario,
Repost:

Although I have not shot many bears...(we had a few nuisance bears on the farm that needed shooting when they weren't scared off, by shooting in the dirt in front of them......and I like the odd bear meat (when prepared by somebody else):wink:

The single time I went bear hunting with a spring bear license, after hearing other people talk about their hunting skills, I was alone that morning sitting on a rock about 75 yds from the bait when a big one showed up.
As I was raising the rifle to take my shot, I started to think; I have to skin that sucker, probably full of lice, then quarter it and bring it home, and will my wife cook it? or will I have to give the meat away after hauling it a half mile to my truck?
After that second or two of hesitation, I raised my sight to a big ole knot on the tree behind the bear's head and fired...
When the bear ran off, I went to verify that I had hit what I was aiming at, tore up my license, packed up my stuff and went home........
