I quite well know what he was talking about, obviously. I have never hunted big game with a dog, but if that is what others enjoy, I do not have a problem with it. Been hunting quite awhile, I realize not everyone does it the same way, even though I do not always agree with the method, as a hunter I try to be open to their methods, as long as all is legal. Too many ANTI'S out there for us to cast stones at each other in my opinion.
As for casting stones? It's my right to give my opinion if I want to. I said I wasn't interested in watching it, and i'm not. You disagreeing with that is no better than what I said about bear hunting with dogs. So, how are you any better? You don't think anti's pick up on that?
I'm open minded about other methods too. Hunters are free to hunt as they please as long as it's legal. I'll do nothing to try and stop it, or change the laws. However, I will voice how I feel about it.
btw This has nothing to do with hunting for birds with a dog. The hunters are shooting the birds from the air. Not from a tree.

If you want to give the anti's more ammo......... show dogs chasing a bear up a tree, and some so called hunter shooting it out of a tree. That's why it's illegal in Colorado now. Along with baiting. It will be the same in every state at some point.

Think we got a little off topic, I don't mind hunting or fishing shows. I come to the table with an understanding that alot of them are pre-staged to an extent but I find them better than what is on most of the other channels.
Do enjoy Jim Shockey and Meat Eaters Steve Rinella. I think some of the other shows though are just too hung up on ratings and being entertaining versus being authentic. Jeff Foxworthy's show though kinda has to bring a little entertainment just because of who he is. Being authentic will bring more sportsman to the table than the fake or staged shows.

I have no idea where you got that from because a big bear will wear down and tree and sometimes a lot quicker than a younger bear. I had a big boar hanging around my cabin years ago up in northern MI and a guy came in with his hounds for a good chase to train some of his younger hounds. That bear treed after about a 1/2 hour run and they let him go to run another day! The guy was an old timer and said it was as big as he'd ever seen and guessed him to be close to 500#. I quit watching most of the outdoor shows, but will certainly agree that Shockey and Rinella are as good as it gets for doing it right and respecting the game they are after.

Not much experience running dogs after bears but we in NC have enough dogs running in season for deer to know that alot of the clubs lose deer dogs when they get onto a big bear instead. The smaller ones will tree most of the time, the big ones can tree at times but depends on the trees around (alot of tall pines with no low branches) but more often then not will end up cornered and will then face the dogs.

Yep, nothing like a good old western Pete, and there are a lot of them out there to watch!
