Nothing wrong with it in my eyes. I have a question for you then, is it more ethical to track down a bear and shoot it while it's sleeping or shoot one over bait? From what I can tell most bears are shot over bait from a stand.

It's pretty hard to hunt something that can hunt you back.

In my eyes you have to have BIG brass ones to sneak up on a sleeping bear and shoot it from the ground, with a bow no less!

yes, and last time i checked the vitals on a broadside standing or sleeping bear are the same size[:-]
Yeah its probably a better shot because the bear will most likely not jump the string or move as you release the arrow! I'd take the shot!
