I know nothing about bear hunting, never been and never will.Judging from what I've seen on tvI'm not a fan of bear hunting at all, because every hunt I've ever seen involved a barrel of fish or barrels of something that the bears can't resist. About 6 or 7 huge bears come in and stick their head in the barrels while the hunters pick out the biggest one to kill. Again, this isn't hunting, it'slikea sicko luring a kidwith candy andkillin it. Or shopping for bears. If they say its the only way to hunt em, well then they need to find another way. I've seen a fewspot and stalk hunts on tv like salukipv said he went on, and I'd have to saythat would definitely take some "fortitude"! That's how they should be hunted! Also let me say, I know there are some places where the bear population needs to be keptin check, and I guess the easiest way is throughhunting over bait, so overall, I don't know what to think.Probably grounds for another forum, not deer hunting.
