Bear Speared

[Fox]

\

My issue is NOT with the method he used to kill the Bear. It's with the decision to record,then publicize, a hunt that went horribly wrong by any standard of the ethics of a quick,clean kill that all of us,as hunters,aspire to,then,adding insult to injury by acting like an total immature a**hole after the fact like he'd done something heroic on the video. I think he needs a kick in the berries....more than once,for his appalling conduct.

First off have you ever watched a hunting show? When they scream and yell for "nailing" that buck that they hit too far back and have to wait 24 hours before tracking.

This was a heck of a lot more ethical than many of the shows that a lot of people here rave about.

The guy was a competitive javelin thrower and he has many videos showing him practicing with the spear, making that shot over and over again. I saw that this is a lot more ethical than many hunters out there, you know the guys, the ones who pull the rifle out on the friday before the hunt, realize that they do not know where their ammo is, go grabs a box of whatever is in stock and refuse to shoot it to sight it in because "it was good last year and I don't want to spook the deer".

If you can hit your target every single time what does it matter what you are using, a massive spear tip to the vitals is a lot more ethical than many spray and pray guys out there.

I find all the yelling and jumping around after a kill, a bit much. I think that only adds fuel to the anti's fire ! Some I find downright disturbing !

Our neanderthal ancestors are rolling in their graves right now and laughing at this donkey trying to justify his inhumane and childish ambitions....and I quote: "some days you eat the bear and somedays well...the bear eats you" hopefully this guy smartens up before the latter for his sake. He should be fined and banned from hunting. Compĺetely irresponsible. How many bears did he wound before he got the one in a million shot....hmmm

What about bow hunting?

Bingo! Besides believing we should never publish a hunt unless all conditions are pristine with a perfect one-shot clean kill,showing irreverence and disrespect by acting like some macho juvenile a**hole only serves to inflame public sentiment and bias against hunters. Some things are best kept to ourselves.

bowhunting is bowhunting. he is killing bear using illegal techniques. why dont we all just dig huge pits in the ground with bamboo spears at the bottom and push animals into them...sure itll kill a bear or any big game but probably a silly idea among being illegal.

Really ?? ...the article says it was legal...

But he admitted the lack of a specific ban could make the regulation a grey area. At the time the video was recorded, there was no law in place preventing spear hunting.

I remember being hauled over the coals for making that same argument for the video by the numbnuts who shot (muliple times) the Polar bear and then cheered as it rolled down the hill.

Sometime I have to question some of the memberships of this Hunting Fraternity..

IIRC,it turned out that video had been photo-shopped and edited by animal rights groups. This one,not so much.
