Okay let me re-say everything I have said. I understand some people can't judge the size of a bear in the field because of adrenaline, excitedness, or what ever you wanna call it. I don't condone it, but I understand it. 2 years ago I was at a check in station and a guy shot a cub. It only weighed like 24 lbs. The guy bragged like he was the best hunter in world. His bear weighed 24 lbs. My German Shepherd weighs 76 lbs. No one else shot a bear. Not a mother killed and then the cubs. Not a bear running. He just shot a 24 lbs cub. Is that right? If you kill a cub on accident, I can live with it. I have killed button bucks on accident thinking they were does (something else I'm against). But to do what he did really urked me.
