Some black bears are hunted with hounds and or bait. Don’t like it, don’t hunt there. Vote with your pocket book. The laws of each state dictate how when and where critters can be hunted and taken. If one thinks certain methods are not acceptable or even ethical for them, but whereas the people of a state deems it a traditional accepted way of pursuit, so be it.
Most blacks and probably all brown bears are hunted by spot and stalk methods or, in the case of woods hunting in timber, via “a la cart”- being in the right place at the right time when a bear walks by. Recently my older brother shot a 375 lb black boar in Broome county NY, he was in a ground blind deer hunting with his Savage 99 in 250, 87 grn Nosler, one shot stop at 23 yards, he’s like that. Me, I hunt bears with my 416 Rigby.
Unfortunately when I ruff grouse hunt, I run across these yahoos. I get what you are saying, it’s still my opinion and I stand by it.
