I don't hunt. I fish. But hunting is a fine thing and more power to hunters. Having said that, killing a bear by luring it into a vulnerable spot by putting a garbage can filled with food in a pile of logs, waiting around for a bear to be lured, and then shooting it does seem unsporting to me. If it's necessary as a management technique to get rid of rogue bears, that's one thing, and acceptable. But to call it and treat it as "sport" seems wrong.

I thought this was talking about the ancient practice of setting a chained bear to fight against several dogs with the spectators gambling on the outcome. <Yawn}

.......lying in wait with rifle or bow and arrow.

Sheesh, Every time I read the phrase "bow and arrow", it grates on me.

It's as redundant as saying "rifle and bullets". And nobody says that......

BTW, in West VA., they hunt them with dogs. Seems a little more sporting than "shooting them in a restaurant" !!.....
