Keeping black bear population at a certain level is necessary.

They are over populated and getting dangerous to people because of familiarity

This is just social media nonsense going extreme and taking it out on a guy in public spotlight (kinda)

How come whenever a few people complain about something on social media it makes headlines?

 

[Risen Star]

Just the feminization of society. Nothing to see here.

When I first heard about this I thought Wentz killed the bear with his bare hands.

Then we have some Cowboy fans that want to sign a running back who chained up puppies with a heavy chain so they couldn't move.

I hope he has it mounted and post it on every one of his social media platforms.

Self indulgent, self serving and ignorant but not barbaric

How does hunting a black bear wind up on a millionaire's bucket list? That's an outing in the local woods.

It wasn’t necessary 100 years ago

Personally, as long as anyone is hunting the legal way, it's all good. Much goes into the amount of money hunters pay for hunting. That money goes to good use including helping control and protect game animals. Everyone criticizing Wentz seems to forget every piece of meat they eat belonged to an animal that was killed.

Just say you do not know what you are talking about so not to waste my time.

Usually in a less than sporting way at that.

If he did bag it with a bow that takes a good bit of skill and a black bear is probably the biggest you can get in the US to down reliably witha bow. doubt a grizzly or other larger bears will be as easily downed with a bow before the hunter himself is at risk of being downed. Hunting with a bow is more about exact shot placement to hit lunges or heart, whereas with a gun you just need to be close enough to allow the energy dump from a large enough rifle round to dump all that energy into surrounding tissue.

That's exactly my impression of you.

There has always been a healthy population in this state. You never saw them down here, in the foothills between the Champlain Valley and the Green Mountains, though.

Until the last three or four years. Now it's a fairly regular occurrence. Two years ago I saw the first bear sign on my property in the 22 years I'd been roaming it.

More bears in this state now then there was a 100 years ago.
