The one point I haven't seen addressed, is the fact that Leroy was not a hunter, he is an old man who took care of a bear cub, not for fame fortune or any other reason just because he cared, nothing more, nothing less, the man helped an animal to survive.
As for the twit that killed a tame bear I can not say the same. Who really passes the smell test on this one, Leroy or the twitster?
This puke knew Leroy and he knew Bozo the tame bear.
Bozo the bear is no trophy and this individual is no bear hunter.
This single handed selfish act has once again put hunters in the lime light, and in the worst possible way, what a glowing ass this twit has catapulted himself to in all the press, and we as hunters are all touted as one and the same, just heartless blood thirsty killers.
And showing anything but disdain for the actions of this ass-clown sends the wrong message to all of the hunters and non hunters of this state.
The sad part is we as hunters will all have to share the polarizing shame cast upon us by the thought less actions of one so over whelmed with self glorification, as to be blinded by reality of what ire killing this pet would subject all of us to.
Its a sad day in the hunting world when any thing but disgust is felt when this topic arises.

I couldn't agree more.
No doubt the Anti's will use this whole episode as fuel.
BTB,
I actually think the PGC will turn a blind eye toward any baiting charge. They see a potential world record or at least a bear ranking very high.
I feel they want to draw attention to PA being a destination for bear hunters from out of state.
Just the fact that it was tame makes all hunters look bad.
Really, just read all the comments anywhere this is/was posted on web sites. We all get a black eye over this.
Some don't care if we get a black eye just because it was big and supposedly legal. That's all they see.
So what if it makes hunting look bad, is their attitude.
