Bear hunting ethics Yesterday while hunting bear in unit 7 with my Son we had a great day hiked all over weatherford. We did see a sow with a cub but last night as we worked our way down we ran across a skinned cub/yearling. The carcass could not have weighed 50 lbs it was shot in the stomach, skinned and thrown under a large boulder in an attempt to hide it. None of the meat was removed. I took some pictures and GPS the location – Sad thing is it was about 400 yards from Shultz pass road easy pack out. I know some people don’t like bear meat but shoot a very young bear and leave it to waste is a shame. It did give my son a bad taste for bear hunting. I just hope the SOB that shot that cub can enjoy his little cub rug and remember how that little guy died with a gut shot. azyoung

The bear that was shot could not be compared to a spike buck or bull. This bear from the end of the spine to where they cut the head off was about 26” I used my sling as a reference. If this was someone first bear or if they were proud of this bear then take care of it! To shoot a very small bear skin it and throw it under a boulder 400 yards from a main road is were the issue of a killing a young bear irritates me. FYI the info from the Game and Fish is that leaving or wasting meat from any game animal(lion bear) is illegal
