Carson Wentz labeled 'barbaric' for hunting a black bear

[Vtwin]

Self indulgent, self serving and ignorant but not barbaric

Yeah right

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

These folks complaining have obviously never had potatoes fried in bear fat. Plus I heard that Wentz actually missed the bear twice and Nick Foles had to be brought in to finish him off.

It wasn’t necessary 100 years ago

!00 years ago many species were of wildlife was over hunted.

Stupid on line likes themselves.
Moral high ground - until someone is attacked and....

I'm sure Wentz has killed moose,elks and Caribu.

 

[Pass2Run]

Just the feminization of society. Nothing to see here.

Yep.

Seriously?

Elaborate?

Same handful of sensitive flakes stressing over pancake syrup and renaming sports mascots.

Cleveland Guardians?!? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I bet you shotgun Bud Lights in the parking lot before heading into see Magic Mike.

Nothing wrong with hunting a black bear as long as all protocols were followed,

It is not an endangered species.

Now those disgusting men who fly to somewhere in Africa to shoot an old lion or other animals that are stuck in a cage and shoot them. Take their heads or other parts as trophy and celebrate their manhood. Then some justify it saying that the animals meet goes to the local people and some of the money as well. I do not care. That is not hunting.

That is some crap. That is not hunting. That is shooting a captured animal who is not at his or her prime and in a cage. No way for the animal to fight back or run and make the hunter actually hunt for the prey.

But him going out and hunting a black bear with a bow and if he followed the rules. Nothing wrong with it.

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

I believe he killed the bear by throwing it under the bus.

Bear fat has been used since the first nations people. It's probably the 3rd most important animal behind beaver and buffalo to western expansion. Because bears hibernate in dormancy they pack on fat, and that fat is a unique fat. Other North American animals hibernate like squirrels and prairie dogs but none that are big enough to render fat from. Likewise other North American big game like whitetail, mule deer, and elk who don't hibernate don't offer much in the way of renderable fat.

Bear fat when ground down and slow cooked with a bit of water and strained through a cheesecloth makes a clean lard that works great for both frying and baking. It's how Native Americans, early settlers, and pioneers fried the lean rabbits, squirrels, and deer meat they were shooting along the way. They also used it for conditioning bow strings, weatherproofing clothing, seasoning knives and firearms, protecting skin and chapped lips, soothing insect bites and rashes, making soap, and to burn lanterns. Lewis and Clark reported using gallons of bear fat to condition their equipment. It's kind of like having WD40, Crisco, and Vaseline all bottled up in one little jar.

I've never killed a bear nor rendered bear fat, but I've been around it. I worked for a while as guide/outfitter and you'd get hunters that would bring it to camp for cooking or trading. I traded a guy a youth recurve bow for a big mason jar several year back and cooked with it for months. It's the same idea as frying with bacon fat except it's cleaner and has a longer shelf life.

So, you like that movie? You support the name Cleveland Guardians?!?

Who cares

Complaining about things like this is so lame.

Complaining about things like this is so lame.

And the name “Guardians” is even more lame!

 

[cavemanct]

I can't believe he actually hit it.

 

[zrinkill]

I can't believe he actually hit it.

He was aiming at a bear 20 yards away from it.

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

Because those few people are the loudest, which is why you have companies pandering to very small, sensitive groups of people.

 

[LonnieElam]

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

He never does. He just complains about everything. Remember when he threw a tantrum and left the site for a few months?

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Don/t hunt, but I know how, should it become necessary.

But I'm not going to stand in the way of anybody that wants to hunt...
