Would you go bear hunting?

Question

Miristheiss · Accepted Answer

Nah, I'm not into hunting. I have nothing against bears. If one threatened me or got to close I'd not hesitate to shoot it but I wouldn't want to hunt them.

I'd go squirrel hunting though. Those little guys... while cute and I have liked squirrels before (while at college I would sometimes feed the campus squirrels... one even got on my lap and took food from me) then ones by my house have really started to grate on me and make me dislike them.

I put down bird seed on the patio and I hang a feeder off of our covered deck. I don't mind if they come and eat some of the food off of the patio (a Chipmunk does as well) but they keep coming up and climbing the support beams and hanging from the suspended feeder. I chase them off all the time but they don't stop. I've gotten to where I'll only hang the feeder when I'm home and I can make sure they don't get on it. I used to leave it out 24/7 but not anymore.

Anyway I wouldn't mind blasting a shot into their little leaf nests and shooting whatever comes scurrying out.

No. Saw plenty of beautiful bears in AK. Wouldn't hunt them.

TacosRAwesome · Accepted Answer

No for the furry growly animal. Yes for the gay kind.

Oigit · Answer

I wouldn't go. Because I think their should be a rule about hunting animals that can hunt you back, hand held weapons only. If you are not willing to hunt something like bears with a shield and spear, then you can't hunt them. Well that and if I had some land in a wooded area that is frequented by bears I'd work on setting up a den for them and do my best to ensure I don't have a negative encounter with them.

I use to live in the morticians and one thing would really piss me off. People would billed these several million dollar homes in areas frequented by wildlife and demand the wildlife get hunted down, due to having a negative encounter with them on the home owners property. Despite the entire reason the encounter happened because the home owner was not fallowing any of the laws in place to keep the wildlife and them safe from each other.

Not_Average · Answer

Nah. You’d probably hate my answer here, but I’m a bit of a softie when it comes to hunting tbh. I’ve gone a decent amount of times, and I enjoy a lot of aspects of it, but these animals don’t die instantly and it’s pretty sad to watch them go. The yelping always got me. Bear meat is pretty tasty I’ll admit. It’s the circle of life, but it’s just not particularly fun for me. Bears can be so affectionate and kind too. I rather slay hajis in Afghanistan than animals who don’t know any better. 😂 I think that’s because of the adrenaline rush and the more fair aspect to warfare. I’m a bit crazy

I'm a decent hunter. I have good woodcraft, can stalk and I'm a decent shot, but basically I don't like to kill shit, so if I want to eat an animal, I go to Safeway and buy it and let someone else do that for me. I have, however, been beer hunting, which often leads to bare hunting.

Curmudgeon · Answer

If said bear was threatening one's horses or livestock, absolutely. The Leftist Demunist Commiecrats, ecofiend ninnies, bureaucrats, and goo-goos will have a fit about this, so "Shoot, shovel and shut up" is the rule:

AviatorTom · Answer

No. Bears have a right to live on this planet.

I'm not the kind of guy who wants stiffed animal heads and bodies decorating the walls of his lodge. Personally, I don't understand why some guys do that. I can understand hunting for food, but not for sport.

Alexandrubaschet08 · Answer

HELL NO, my country is the second one whit the biggest population of bears afther Russia.
Mine have over 50.000 bears, it's so much they start to come in the humans area AND WE LOVE THEM.

So nice to live togeder in harmony whit mother nature :)

cookiecrusher · Answer

Nah, i do wilderness survival classes and snaresband such. Sneak up to animals to take picture of them etc.

I don't feel like hunting for sport, they have a pretty difficult life already. I grew up near farms and i have killed for food, so i'm not inexperienced with death.

Us humans like to play the nature police like the USA plays the world police.

RationalMale · Answer

No, I want to live and keep far away from bears.

Though kudos to anyone who does go remove those satanic beasts from this earth. I read a story about a Russian girl who went camping with her dad. A bear came, killed dad, horribly mauled her. She called her mom on her cell. Then the bear came back with cubs and they started eating her alive while she was on the phone with her mom.

Varanus · Answer

If by bear hunting you mean riding a bear mount into the forest and shooting people with a bow and arrow, absolutely.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Stoner710 · Answer

Sure that would be fun, I’d love to go elephant hunting but instead of using real bullet on elephants I’d use tranquilizers I know there critically endangered so I wouldn’t want to kill them but the hunt would be fun so use non lethal rounds

DJB72 · Answer

I wouldn't hunt a predator unless it had killed a human.

I don't have any ethical issues about hunting in general as long as the hunter can actually shoot straight and take down the target with a single, clean shot.

Anpu23 · Answer

Nah, I try and drink at home rather then beer... Oh wait you said bear, why would I feed beer to a bear?  (Remember Im vegetarian and don't trophy hunt)

cth96190 · Answer

Hell no, but I would enjoy hunting the hunters. I expect that they might not be such ‘great hunters’ when the prey begins to shoot back.

purplepoppy · Answer

No I feel you should either shoot for the table or for conservation reasons.

TexasRed95 · Answer

I would absolutely go bear hunting. My father and grandfather were big outdoorsmen. I have only hunted Turkey and deer but my grandfather and father hunter far more. Especially my grandfather he has probably hunted every game in America.

I live in the middle of a city in England, I mean even if I was into bear hunting I'd probably have the same success rate as if I was into hunting Dodo's! lol

If their population had to be reduced due to them damaging the biotope, then yes.

TomGarand · Answer

Boar hunting, yes. BEAR hunting? No. If I have a particularly high-powered firearm, I'm changing my mind.

TallAnon · Answer

I'm not really a hunter and I don't see a reason for it. If I'm ever in a situation where I need to hunt like that, sure, I will do it, probably with traps.

Redstang88 · Answer

No, bears tastes horrible and I have no interest in hunting something I can’t eat

FlyMulatto · Answer

I wouldn’t because I like bears, and I see no point in it, I don’t eat them nor see them as a threat. That’s like someone coming in my house and hunting me. I don’t really get it.

Exterminatore · Answer

Nah. If I can’t eat it I’m not interested in hunting it. I doubt bear would taste good.

Lionking09 · Answer

I would not hunt them. But i would like to take photos of them.

Waldoe · Answer

Nope, I don't want to KILL anything, lets the ranchers and meat processors do it, send my my all Beef Patties, I'm happy

888theGreat · Answer

I hear it tastes good. Never killed a bear or ate it. I knew someone that did and she (yes she) said one bear gave you enough meat for 3 years.

Likes2drive · Answer

Not much of a hunter, more of a target practice guy, would need a big gun for a bear

No, first it is dangerous and second, I would only kill a animal if I was going hungry.
