Bears are special and deserve to be respected as such. Feeding them garbage and shooting them while they eat it degrades bears and hunters both.
Bears are special? Now there is a pecking order of game animals? You bring stupid to all new levels. So if I shoot a bear over berries or fish eating, it is ok but not over a bait? How does it degrade a hunter or a bear? There are places where bears numbers need to be controlled and near impossible to hunt with the use of bait or dogs. You really need to educate yourself.
Thanks for the gushing declaration of admiration, I'll take the put down as a badge of honor coming from you.

Where did yo get that from FB2? Straight from the anti-hunter's Communist Manifesto? That is the exact terminology and emotionalism that closed off a large chunk of coastal BC to hunting bears because of a few color mutated white "Kermode" or spirit bears lived there. Just another black bear, but colored white. It's also the same terminology and emotionalism that got he BC grizzly hunt ended.
You call yourself a hunter, yet you elevate a bear to mythical status. Maybe to you it is, but don't you dare try to dictate ethics and hunting methods to other legal bear hunters. You're like a fly fisherman who tries to stop a 3 year old kid fishing with a worm baited hook from trying to catch a stocked trout from the town central park pond.
With hunters like you, we don't need enemies, you are one.
Beginning to think that it might not be a bad idea that that west coast fault did give a big shake and drop California, Oregon, Washington and western BC into the Pacific. Stop that cancer from infecting the rest of North America.
