Default RE: Is Bear hunting with a dog ethical?

ORIGINAL: stack62

You read the Peta press releases don't you? I know I do cause most of them are posted on this site. I did not call the guy a peta member. I apprecitate the guy being species specific in what he hunts. I just said these kinda post can be bait for peta. Don't be nieve in thinking hunters are the only ones watching what other hunters do. As long as I am hunting I am happy. No matter dog, gun, bow or whatever and I will support the majority of hunting avenues exceptfor this World hunting deal.
Hey... we agree on something stack. I would like to add Canned Hunting to my list of things that are not hunting. I don't support that or the WHA in any way shape or form. I understand you reluctance to discuss subjects that might be used by the anti's but this is a hunting site which is used as a form of education to some of our new sportsmen. Many of the younger kids just coming up are getting the wrong idea of hunting by the sat Tv shows which are killing captive animals. The shows paint the sport as being easy and place unreal objectives in the kids minds. When it doesn't happen for them they get bored with it and fall away from the sport. I don't mind talking about it here because some of us want to spread the word about how real hunting should be. When my father first took me out at age 12 I expected a deer to be behind every tree. I quickly learned that I was playing on their turf and they had the advantage. It hooked me for life. I shot my first deer at age 15 which was 43 years ago and realize that like everything in life the good things come hard. If it was that easy it wouldn't be fun. Sorry to misinterpret your post Stack and have a great day.
