RE: BEAR pic - is he a shooter???
This bear does not appear to be mature. Judging by his underside, they say a mature bruin will have a large pot belly that looks low to the ground. Can' t tell if his ears look rounded and small for his head from this angle, another sign of a muture bear. If it was a regular color " black" bear I would not shoot it. Being a cinnamon phase??!!?!?.
I guess it would depend on late in the season it was, if I was on a guided hunt and had a lot of $$$$$ invested, if i lived where there was bear and could hunt them every year etc....
Oh hell just shoot the bear, bleach his skull, make a nice thick rug for the parlor.
Besides every bear wants to be a rug.
