I never saw it personally because I knew what was going on, but I heard a mother and three cubs being shot at the same time in a draw about 150 yds. from me three years ago. The bawling was something that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I never want to hear that again. I never went over to look, but one of our party did. He said it almost made him quit bear hunting. Oh, yes... it was all pefectly legal...a group of hunters standing around when the sow and cubs bounded into them. One shot the sow, and while she was dying, she treed the cubs and the rest of the group shot them. Great sport, huh............ i also have friend who quit bear hunting because one of his buddys driving for bear shot mother ,then they shot the cub with her..

the cub was dead but mother was holding her stomach where bullet went in and was making a bawl sound like if you had a stomach pain yourself..

he said that haunts him to this day and he will not go bear hunting ..this happened 10 years ago..

i really think that some law has to be made that you cant shoot a sow with cubs..
