Why is the 'hunt' called a 'ruse' in this video? Who are they trying to kid? Are these bears not protected wildlife?

Looks more like a cruel fantasy, taped so they can wank over it later. Fucking arseholes.

I got to see Max Baer hunt a razorback with a bow and arrow once. Once was enough for me. If he'd have used a boar pike or a Bowie knife I would have been impressed. Stand-off weapons, not so much.

In some places, possibly. I don't know of the black bear being listed anywhere in the US, however. They're highly adaptable to changing conditions.

That's why they put heads on the wall, it's part of the Biggest Dick Contest they're running.

Hardly sportsmanlike conduct shown in the video, and the people involved got what they deserved. Still, bear hunting is a legitimate activity when done ethically.

The very first animal I shot after I took up bow hunting was a light-coated black bear, whom I shot with a bow, face to face, at four yards. I'm looking at his cinnamon-brown pelt right now as it sits draped over my office chair.

I was elk hunting in Colorado about six years ago and had drawn a bear tag. I drove my Jeep up a trail on some private land where I was hunting and parked, waiting for the wind to shift so I could hunt up the trail. I was standing in front of the Jeep getting ready, getting my camo on and my bow ready when I heard a crashing in the brush up the ridge to my right. I at first though it might be elk, as one crashed away up the ridge and the other came towards me, but it wasn't a loud enough crashing to be an elk coming at me. I pulled my camo mask down, picked up my bow and knocked an arrow. I was standing about a foot in front of my Jeep looking up the ridge when I saw a black nose peek up out of the brush about 30 yards away. I drew and held and aimed at the little game trail arch in the brush at the edge of the trail. Sure enough the bear came right down the trail to me, stopped at the edge of the trail, put his front feet up on a log and looked directly at me. I let him have it right through the chest. He snarled and batted at his chest, turned and ran back up the trail.

The fun part was crawling through the oak brush on hands and knees following the blood-trail of a wounded bear, .45 in hand.

He got about 70 yards (in about 10 seconds) and then died, shot through from stem to stern, right through the heart and out just in front of the left rear leg. The hard part was dragging him through the oak brush back to the trail. Not a huge bear, he weighed about 300 pounds. Very, very tasty too.

He looked a lot bigger than that from four yards away though, I can tell you. One of the most exciting moments of my life.

Nope. Gazillions of black bears in the US. So many that the police regularly have to shoot them when they come into mountain towns and start tearing things up and endangering people. They are in no way endangered, and indeed are becoming a serious hazard. In Aspen, they have literally HUNDREDS of bear damage reports every spring and fall, so many that the Division of Wildlife now kills them instead of relocating them, because there's no place to relocate them to. Once a bear becomes habituated to human beings, they can be big trouble, and a couple of people have been killed here in Colorado in recent years, mostly because they were bear-hugging and feeding them in spite of the law against doing so.

Bears are not cute, cuddly creatures, they are dangerous wild animals who can and do kill people, and like most other big game, they need to be managed if the species is to survive in harmony with man. That means hunting to keep the numbers under control, so that they do not become a nuisance and a danger to humans.

Mankind is a predator and is at the top of the food chain. Hunting is a perfectly natural activity and big game, including bears and mountain lions, are carefully managed by the DOW to ensure that they are not over-hunted.

And bear is very tasty meat. Rich, flavorful and fatty. Makes outstanding hamburger.

I never much cared for his music.

Did anyone watch the video ? that wasn't hunting .

I watch a little of it. I decided to read about it elsewhere instead. I agree it wasn't hunting, it was gratuitous ego-feeding killing. Send that guy out to work in a slaughterhouse until he gets it out of his system.

[Tero]

Bears. I think the bears are right not to trust people. If I was a bear and ran into a people in the woods, I would kill it, safest plan for the bear. Plus the bear does not know at this point that more people with fire sticks will come after it. It did not evolve to think that.

What's wrong with killing something that doesn't have a chance in hell of defending itself and wasn't bothering you in the first fucking place hunting?

[charlou]

Yes, I did. He was stood on that little observation platform with his bow and shit-eating grin ... he was even wearing camouflage gear and everything.

Well the only saving grace in that little tale is that you ate him. At least you did that. But perhaps a bow isn't the most humane way to hunt your meat?
