Bear hunting is becoming a controversial sport and this article is what I consider to be a kind of biased view of bear hunting. OTOH going to the local bakery and getting some of yesterdays donuts and pastries to bait bears with isn’t exactly a good image either. Personally I’d like to see that kind of bear baiting banned.
IMO if you’re going to hunt bears for the thrill of it then get all the thrills you can. Don’t sit 50-100 yards away and shoot some bear eating yesterdays donuts. Be a man, go into the bears domain and hunt for him there. Yeah, I know why a lot of people don’t do that but choose to shoot donut bears instead. Fear, plain and simple. They want to brag they killed a bear but they don’t want to be in danger doing it. Sheesh, man up, go hunt Mr. Bear where he lives and take your chances. Some days you eat the bear but one day the bear will eat you. That’s enough to make donut bear shooters out of most guys.
If you hunt post your hunting info here on the hunting forum. If you have questions about hunting around the Lake Preston area you can ask the bait babe or Bo as they keep up with hunting as well as fishing. If you need ammo check at the bait box as they have all kinds available and if you need a place to stay the Lake Preston Motel caters to hunters as well as fisher people. The even have a game cleaning room and a freezer so you can transport your game safely.
