although i dont think killing a cub would be the right thing to do,,one mans trophy is another mans no shoot, if a young kid kills a cub his first ever bear ,,i would praise him till the end of days,,,its not the size that matters its the fact of getting them out there,,given they understand that next time they would have to try to do better,,getting larger game,,,i wouldnt shoot a baby bear either but like i say it isnt always a grown up doing the shooting
