No I don't hate it as much as you do. I've Bear hunted in PA for 25 years (successfully too) and I've seen bear of all sizes shot. If the mother gets shot a lot of times the cubs need shot then too if they're too small to make it. Also in PA a lot of bear hunting is done by drives. A 75-100 pound cub can look bigger than it is to anybody when it's running through the laurel. I might add that my PA Bear was 2 years old and one year I passed up a cub so I haven't ever shot one myself.
