200 yrs ago more people lived off bear meat than deer meat

Tricky

That was probably almost 100% black bear meat. There might have been browns

From what I know of hunting, you can only carry 100 lbs back to your camp.

And apparently you're only allowed to take one load?

Eddie

Yeah, kinda. But... being hurt while hunting a grizzly?

Courtimedes

Sure. Lot's of tragedy happens when people are doing dangerous stuff.

Nope. Turnabout is fair play.

Not a huge "tragedy" when someone engages in dangerous behavior and gets hurt.

Animal beings have rights too.

The right to taste good, right to be grilled or baked or sauted. Lots of rights

Yeah, humans matter more than any animal

some of us do, at least

Not a fan of hunting bear with dogs.

Depends on how the animal identifies.

It’s a tragedy for the wife and kids he leave behind. I feel bad for them that their husband/dad died

RealTaysomHill

The hunter did not die.

“Do you consider it a tragedy when the animal kills or injures the hunter.” Feel free to include “or injures” in my post

RealTaysomHill

The bear left him alive so to serve as an example to the rest of us.

Taking risks doesn't mean you deserve to meet a bad fate

Jericho

May 20, 12:46pm

Yes, I definitely said taking risks means someone deserves death.

RealTaysomHill

May 20, 2:05pm

lol, so many bad takes in on post

Jericho

May 20, 2:53pm

I'll leave the grizz alone and keep my distance

There are different kinds of tragedies, to be sure.

Yikes. Did you really ask that?

May 20, 12:33pm

To be clear - he was hunting black bear and not grizzly (which is what attacked him).

Ah... Ok... That is a bit different. I change my vote.

First of all these hunts are to cull the herd so that the population can survive. Yes, it is a tragedy bc a human was

Would your opinion change if a human

Not my favorite statement - "animals are here for our use"

It does.
