They can be dangerous once they view you as prey. G&F have no choice in these cases but to put them down.

Human remains were found in the stomachs of two of the three black bears euthanized in Colorado after a woman was found dead in a suspected bear attack Friday night, wildlife officials said.

Geez, what a tragic story. I don't carry a sidearm or bear spray in Colorado, but have been thinking about it more and more lately.

These type of cases are extremely rare. But regardless, I recommend wearing a sidearm and carrying bear spray in bear country on top of being bear smart as park and wildlife officials talk about.

Don't forget bells.

Man, that'd be a horrific way to go. Watching a bear eat an elk calf alive is hard, can't even imagine.

The best bear is a dead bear.

The best bear is a dead bear.

Where does that fit into your rules of still hunting?

Wolves coming your way. mtmuley

Where does that fit into your rules of still hunting?

You'll have to explain that one.

 

[MTLabrador]

You'll have to explain that one.

You have explained your personal rules against shoulder shots, having help packing out meat, shooting calf elk, etc. I’m just wondering where believing that the only good bear is a dead bear fits in with that.

Oh, I see. Well, bears do something that makes me give them less respect. They eat newborn fawns and calves. So, I have little compassion for them.

That doesn't change any of my rules on how I hunt them. I give them a fair chance.

 

[MTLabrador]

Got it. I guess we will agree to disagree.

Bears do what they were made to do, same as all of us.

 

[Muley_Stalker]

That's right. Like hunt for bears. One predator after another predator. I use fair chase against bears like I do for all game.

Do I need to like them too? Not going to happen. I feel the same way about bears that I do for coyotes.

Just curious if you eat any meat from a store or restaraunt ever?

 

[Muley_Stalker]

Of course I do. Why would you ask that?

 

[Nick87]

Just curious

 

[Muley_Stalker]

I don't get your curiosity? Would you explain?

For the record. I hunt for bear for the same reason I hunt all big game. The challenge, meat, and conservation. I don't like bears but I wouldn't kill one to just kill it. That's not me.

 

[Muley_Stalker]

They just said on the news the woman was killed by a bite to the neck from the bear. So, we can blame the bear now.

long time listener first time caller...

The real question is eating bear that recently ate people still cannibalism or does it not count since you are only eating the muscle tissue of the bear?

Asking for a friend?

Just kidding, but it is an interesting dilemma when it comes to predator hunting.
