i saw a pic on the bluecrab.info site of three hunters from pa with small cubs and a 47# albino cub, make me sick to see pa sportsman like that and if im not mistaken there were 4 cubs shot in the picture.
i am with you too.
back in early 60s/70s you could not shoot a cub bear.
very few were shot then and left lay,i know, i was friend of local game warden here in pa.
NO BEAR CUBS EVER STARVED.
we had worst winters than we do now.
you were allowed 1 bear ,adult per crew.
we would usually only hunt for big male bears..
i was at check station here in clinton county,pa.
hunters shooting cubs now are bringing bears in with GUTS in them so they weight more,like 1 was 47 pds but its weight should have been 30 pds.
so, if you hear of cub at 47 pds, its not, its 30 pds..
cub bear hunters are one of the most disgusting huntersand give bad name to our sport.
