Illegal Grizzly shooting nets $11,000.00 Fine

If you are taking the bears to thin them out then that's a reason. I'm just saying in my opinion if you kill just for the sport of it and no other reason other than that it makes your heart pump a little faster, it seems more like a thrill kill. Thast just doesn't seem right to me. I am not condemning anyone who trophy hunts but I have a right to my opinion that it's wrong. I spent 20 in the U.S. Air Force defending your rights, and I will be the first to defend your right to trophy hunt so brothers and sisters kill what you want, how you want because in the end the only one you have to answer to is God, not me nor anyone else. You were right in that I should not have said "you" in my comment, I should have said "I", thanks for the correction, I will keep that in mind in any future posts.

Hi again bmet..........There is always a reason why people do things. We just don't all reason the same way. The hide of a bear will last indefinately, that is why I choose to hunt them. I don't consider a hide a trophy. I don't think I hunt anything for the thrill of it. At one time I did have the same opinion as you on bear hunting....opinions change. I would hope that the state has their numbers right and is in control of the hunt. Black bear numbers are very high and hunter numbers are low in my area. Congrats on your long service in the air force. Spent 34 years in the air force myself (see the roundel avitar) and I am serving with the army reserve right now. It must be the uniform lol. Amen.
