he's got nice bases and carries mass to the bottom? looks like his first and seond mass measurements are pretty big. it looks like a tight curl, hard to tell how tight. i think its about 170-172. break it down to come up with 155" i dont see how you can get there. But I said 160ish i dont see it, but im not an expert. im just comparing the measurements off my sheep and looking at that one.

exceptional buck you got. sounds like you earned him

i tried to get my buddy his first deer last year, same kinda thing happened. thats whats up. sometimes i just feel like getting the kill out.

I haven't bashed anyone not sure if you're talking to me. I've just bashed baited Canadian bear hunting in general. I kinda have an issue with "if it's legal" there's things that are illegal that should be legal(hookers) and there's things that are legal that aren't "right" in my opinion. Not saying baited bear is one of them, just in general I mean.

this is good conversation. ironically I think only one person has mentioned the spear in a negative light and that was the basically the topic of the thread

bugling an elk is the same as putting 50 gallon drums of food up for weeks at a time to attract bears and whacking them after theyve become accustomed to eating everyday? thats not how i see it in the slightest, but we can have different opinions. some of that other stuff you mentioned isnt even legal in AZ to begin with

And i don't see how someone can think that a 300lb hairy vulture that you can sit 2 feet from and take a pic of or yell at them and they don't runaway is a wild animal. Not much sport in that hunt, but different strokes for different folks.

That's insane! What a cool story

You guys really think these bears are as wild as the ones coming to water in AZ? Lol just lol.

paleo diet

except they didnt have 500lbs of maple donuts 15,000 years ago. No they baited bear by slaughtering another animal being it a deer, a mule a wild horse... you think bears are only attracted to maple and honey ? youre right i wasnt thinking, since people use wild horses in AZ. which i could get behind that since i hate wild horses.

could have just stabbed this one in the neck. they seem more like pets than wild animals.

he put a good toss on it

I wonder if he is thinking that if he lets you go by you will get his deer up ahead that is waiting by the road? thats happened to me twice.

You're missing out on Facebook. There are even more, bigger, and even stupider arguments to be seen between hunters. Brian too bad im banned from every hunting FB page. yeah i know what you mean, not everyone is attention whores though, but many, many are. i cant blame some of them, they make good money online showing off their butts and shooting bows. thats what gets you sponsored by UA

I bet if you tried a couple times you could hand feed plenty of those Canadian bears if you had the cojones. It looks like shooting fish in a barrel. no they dont associate human with food at all....But who would want to shoot an animal that you can yell at and not leave a bait while in the middle of putting up a tree stand. I would consider that "tame." But some people like that kind of thing.

holy smokes

did you get any more pics of that bad boy?

And that's more fair chase than this bear that's conditioned to bait and humans. Have you seen the video? He could have walked out a stabbed it. I'm not agains it, or think they shouldn't be allowed to do it. It just looks as much like hunting as kicking my lap dog. Grayghost is right if you want have 250k followers online don't do retarded stuff that makes you a target. Not everyone can be Tim wells What do we say to people that shoot animals at 1000+ yards or the guys that hunt muzzle loader with the 500yard muzzle loader, or guys who hunt gut piles for coyotes? I'm sticking with "if it's a legal method of take and it flips your switch, hunt on!" Except for guys that hunt lions and bear with dogs. That's chicken sh÷t! Probably the worst excuse for fair chase... just yanking your chain. I support them too! youre absolutely right. its just not for me. i dont go out of my way to bad mouth it, were just talking about in this thread.

i disagree with you but agree also that the only reason were having this conversation is because they were trying to get more likes. he's not even sponsored by UA, its his wife that is. and she's only sponsored by UA because she's women with a nice body.

i agree with you. keep telling yourself those $75 UA pants are as nice as my $150 sitka ascents.

who would want to shoot a bear thats baited and basically tame anyways. those canadian bear hunts are lame
