I like how you keep taking shots at me when in reality I probably have seen more black bears then you.
Who's taking shots at who?
You start out the thread bashing guys who shoot small bears. I'm telling why a lot of guys shoot small bears. Because they think they're bigger than they are.
Then you tell me you're holding out for the 200lb bear. Well, a lot of guys who shot small bears thought the same thing until they actually weigh the bear.
It only weighed like 24 lbs. The guy bragged like he was the best hunter in world.
I agree. This is wrong. But, I would say this is the exception and not the rule. But, the guy probably was excited that he actually got a bear. I don't know the guy so I couldn't make the judgement.
