Here in Wisconsin they use bear bait which is sugary gooey stuff including old doughnuts etc. They then chase these poor creatures on ATV’s with loud hounds each with a GPS collar until the bear is up a tree and then a shot to the head. I get in trouble saying this in mixed company, but I think Wisconsin bear hunters are pussies.
I hear you and have read and seen some shows on it, I don’t consider that hunting either.
