You should probably get your balls out of your wife’s purse while she’s sleeping.

Can't. The man sleeps with one eye open. 

It's the brown eye, but still...

Best clip I've seen in a week!!!  That was one heck of a shot.  Dropped that Bear almost immediately.  Man, you've got to have some serious courage to use a bow hunting that bear.  Gotta wonder if someone was there with a rifle for backup.  If that shot was just a little off - what was her backup plan?

Likely the cameraman.

Saltwater yes, fresh no - save for walleye. That is one clean tasting fish.

I had a walleye fillet yesterday. I normally love walleye...this one was not great. I got it from a store.  Fresh caught anything is the key.

I got a halibut steak from the same place a couple of weeks ago.  It was great.

Yellow perch are great too...walleye are a member of the perch family.

You don't drop them where you feed them, do you?

In it for the meat - not the sport. 

Life is unfair - death, even more so.

It was a good shot nonetheless. But, I too suspect rifle backup, and yeah, if that's the case, then the "danger factor" was somewhat faked.  If there was no rifle backup - damn, that was a stupid thing to do!!

I wouldn't be interested in shooting a bear. I want good eating meat like elk or deer.

The off-balance is not due to under-hunting of deer. It's due to our creating more pasture land and eradicating predators.

Not bemoaning it - just pointing it out. I'm all for eradicating anything that wants to eat Precious, the darling lap-dog.

Could be.  But, we have plenty of coyotes around these parts, not many true wolves though.  Coyotes are a bit puny and might not look upon mature deer as a meal. You're right about dogs - overfed pets that have lost their killer instinct.  Heck, you could say that about most people too.

I agree.  Almost 40 years ago I was stationed in Alaska and went on a few hunting trips.  Never hunted bear, black or grizzly bear up there but a few of my friends did.  They never went alone.

I am sure she had a back up plan.  Looked her up. She does this for a living producing outdoors shows and hunting programs.

Still a heck of a shot, but I wish she divulged she had "plan B" waiting off-camera.   Even with a rifle, there's no guaranty that the bear won't keep on charging.  I'm going to have to watch that again - I want to see if the bear was actually charging a the moment she made her shot.

PS: watched it again, the bear was quite still when she made her shot. I was thinking to myself - "there's no way anyone I know could make such a perfect shot on a charging bear".  I'm pretty good with my bow, but not at moving targets.

To be honest with you, it's not like I have a big problem with this.   But, one of the guys I used to hunt with was a big lib, and every now and then he'd preach to us about "ethical hunting".  One of his bitches was people who shoot animals where they've been feeding them. It's not like they let cattle have a sporting chance before they "euthanize" them.

Likewise.  Bear hunting has never interested me for the same reason.  Only if its a threatening pest.

Funny story.  A few years ago I was camping with a group of dads and their kids in a national forest.  The guys who did the cooking that evening left food out.  In the middle of the night, a family of black bears raided our cooking area and were running right between our tents. One of the dads woke up, saw the bears, grabbed his 9mm and was going to start shooting at the bears, until one of the other dads stopped him. Not a good idea to be shooting at bears with a 9mm when its pitch black outside and a bunch of people sleeping in paper-thin tents.

The bears had done this drill before - they just wanted the garbage bags full of leftover food.  They dragged a couple of garbage bags off into the woods, and that's all we heard of the bears.

We have deer all over the neighborhood and turkey within blocks of my place.   

Here's a keeper...

The obvious solution is that this is a problem that can be easily solved with more wolves, more panthers, and for the truly creative more
Tasmanian Devils.

No one actually remembers the days when everything they ate was either hunted, foraged or harvested near their home.

Two Texas counties are offering $5/tail for feral hogs.  https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservatio ... -bounties/

Scientists need to start working on a long wooly haired variety that will be comfortable living  in the GNW.....  
So...I'm not much of a hunter for the fun of it. I just want the meat as efficiently and easily  as possible. There's already too much work involved with processing it for food and for long term storage.
There's always some remorse whenever I shoot an animal for food  because I've never been hungry a single day in my life.
Shooting an animal over a revenge issue...?
Now I'm Tony **** Soprano

There is nothing remotely stupid about it. If there are not enough human hunters to control the population of deer or wild boars, then the obvious solution is more natural predators. More wolves, more bears, more mountain lions and yes, more Tasmanian devils would solve the overpopulation problem and give human hunters something more dangerous than other hunters to worry about.

Imagine the great stories that could be told about the careless hunters who were eaten by Tasmanian devils.

YOU are the stupid one, Ghetto Blaster!  You are right up there with singlewide peckerwood.

Imagine hordes of savage  Tasmanian devils threatening the golfers and disinterring the tombs of Bedminster!

Everything you know about "country life" you learned from watching The Cartwrights on Bonanza......  
Obviously you never lived in the country as a land owner with dogs, cats, goats, cows, horses,etc....on acreage..or even with children of your own that were allowed to play all day in the woods.
The feral hog "problem" could be easily solved if there were fewer helpless Snowflake Residents [like you..?] who would need to hire a Grief Counselor after  blasting their share of hogs to Kingdom Come.
The only generation of people in the HISTORY OF MANKIND who would need to hire "experts" to take care of their feral hog problem is OUR WORST GENERATION OF CLUELESS EFFEMINATELY RAISED SNOWFLAKES WHO THINK  EMPLOYING TASMANIAN DEVILS IS THE SOLUTION......

What do you do to control the population of wolves and panthers?  Lions, tigers and bear?

It's close to Hunting Season.  Who here is going to remember the days when there were no grocery stores, but you had to catch and prepare your own food?  Deer?  Boar  (it's always Boar season)? Turkey?  Big Deer (Elk)?  I've got to find some new hunting buddies, so I'm not that prepared this season.  What about y'all?
