I'm with DFuller on this one, I like game animals for the flavor, and purity of their meat, all natural, no steroids, fillers, or additives. I like fruits and vegetables too!
For me hunting is less about ego and more of a step back in time. Which is why I look for like minded forums, if I was a vegetarian, I would be on a different forum.
SalmonriverjohnSheepdip, for the same reason I hunt every other animal that I do, because they eat real good.
I wont hunt spring bear because the meat isnt near as good, but I wont take a poke at those who choose to do so. I will never hunt behind dogs or over bait yet if its legal for those in other areas then that's their choice, I on the other hand choose a spot and stalk method.
I have an open invite for you my friend, if your down here on the coast of Oregon any time soon, I'd be glad to have you for a dinner of blackberry and apple fed bear steak that has been smoked and BBQ,d or prepared any way you prefer, I believe I could make a bear hunter out of you, but if after tasting the reason I choose to hunt them you still wish not to, well that's your choice. Stay well.
John.

Hunting with dogs isn't understood by most, every one thinks the bear climbs the first tree and the dogs keep it there till someone comes along to shoot it.
That's a fairytale. Truth is it is dangerously hard work that can go on for days. You get to meet up with the mad bear on the ground at times or wile he is backtracking full tilt straight at you. Treeing a bear long enough to shoot it is everybody's hope. It does not always work out that way.
I have seen many bear wile hunting, since the dogs were voted out in Oregon. It is nice to find them. But honestly I just can.t bring myself to kill one without the fight.
With all due respect John
To me it would be like shooth=ing a blind dog.
No intention to hijack this post - working 4 u Congratulations on the successful hunt.

So many people want to record their every move,I won't even have to leave the house to know how unsporting some hunting methods are.
Now sitting against a tree and calling them in?
That might get me outta my chair!
