Not a problem at all Sir. I eat what I hunt. You have a good day. And this is true, a forum (computers) don't allow you to see the individual's expressions a lot of misunderstandings happen this way. See ya.

Look on Sungirl's page for your answer.

As far as I know, the bear was about ten feet from him. I think I would have shot it too.
And, if you shoot one that big, it has already passed on plenty of its genetic material, and you get more meat from one single animal. If I shot a 300 lb buck I would only have to kill one in the fall to last us most of the year. But as it is, I usually end up killing two deer to make the year ends meat meet. har har bad pun.
Hey, shooting a bear or deer lets at least a half a cow live longer.

What about pest/nuisance animal control?
To: Son of Rooster
hear hear. You speak so truly, SOR.

Actually, bear is pretty good eating if its cooked right.

Right now I am confronted with the problem of how to eradicate a family of weasels that has discovered my peacock cages. They have managed to destroy ALL of this year's eggs, meaning no hatches this season. :o(
I have no idea what to do with them; can't leave out poison, dog and cat may get it. Same thing for traps. But when it comes to nuisance animals (such as raccoons) I have no qualms at all about trapping them and dispatching them to rodent heaven.

I've heard that, but most people don't go hunting for bear to eat them. It comes more under Trophy Hunting.
I have no problem at all with killing for food or to get rid of a threatening animal. I just don't like killing for the "fun" of it.
So when I saw that picture of the guy and the HUGE bear he'd killed, it made me sad.
By the way, some of the best meals I've ever had were made with wild burro. But they're protected now out here in Nevada. Can't do it any more.
To: EggsAckley
Can you build a box that has a hole small enough for a weasel to get in, but not a dog? Put the trap inside with bait it will smell. Or whatever poison you use for weasels.
To: EggsAckley
"hole small enough for a weasel to get in, but not a dog?
Or cat.
