And they blame bear attacks on the hunters! What will they think of next?

Quite a story. Said he'd killed it with his pistol -- the way some talk, you'd think that was impossible, lol. I wish he'd have said what kind. Thanks for posting.

I think they said they were bow hunting but bears will occasionally be attracted to a firearms elk harvest. Its like a dinner bell sometimes if they are hungry and trying to put on the pounds before the winter is in full swing.

I thought they said this one had cubs in September.

What is kind of sad are the video comments. The majority seem to value the life of a bear over a human.

I believe in some states it's illegal to possess a firearm during achery season.

It is illegal in Utah to have a gun, even in camp, when you're archery hunting deer or elk. Thankfully, concealed carry gets around that law.

Well then, they aught to kill themselves, and then the bears can live. 'Course, we'll still be here to control them.
