I don't like the idea of shooting cubs either. I also feel like shooting a sow ( with cubs) shouldn't be allowed.

A buddy of mine went bear hunting several years ago. He heard a couple shots and then a a bunch of yelling back and forth. Then a few more shots.

It seems, that a guy shot a big sow with cubs. The guy was yelling for his buddies to come over to him because the 2 cubs climbed a tree. The buddies came over and shot the small cubs right out of the tree.

My buddy said it made hime sick and said the cubs were really small, maybe 30 or 40lbs.

I too feel that baiting should be legalized and cubs and sows with cubs off limits.

I was good to read the post on here of the guy that passed on the sow with cubs. The guy deserves a pat on the back for being a true sportsman.
