Canucks' Booth taking heat for bear baiting excursion

Excuse me??? WTF are you talking about? You had better learn to read, I never once called you any names :rolleyes:. And what exactly am I receiving, are you dishing something out?

Same guy you always were Track, some things never change...

There you go again, profane language (WTF). Many, including yourself cannot talk with a civil tongue and have an intellectual debate regarding outdoor issues. Profane language, name calling, fictitious slander, personal attacks and extreme emotional discharge appears to be the norm. A person has an opinion about hunting over bait, and watch out! I sometimes question how some people qualified for a PAL..................must of slipped through the cracks or loop holes. I'll conclude that it comes down to good old internet bullying.
 
Im gonna refrain from getting into the whole bear bating thing mostly because there isn't anything much new to say about it, however personally i really enjoyed baiting even though i never shot anything , just because i got so many cool pictures on the cam.

however what i was going to say was to Track , would i be wrong in assuming that you hunt out west. I ask only because it seems that all of the people saying to get on the ground and stalk bears live out west where it is a much more feasible endeavor due to terrain
 
What's going on here, is we've got a guy so self-righteous, his s**t don't stink. Who claims to be a hunter, but who disrespects any hunter who doesn't live up to his ideas of hunting... whatever that is.

I (and several others) spent 3 days trying to get him to understand that it's wrong to run down guys that are hunting legally, whether it bothers you or not.

It's extremely unfortunate that we have members here with such narrow visions; just frustrating as hell that anyone can be so obtuse...

As to whether or not he's from the west, yes he is. Are western hunters more likely to take this type view of baiting? Sadly, it seems so... :(

Yes, I do hunt out west, primarly Alberta and then Saskatchewan. Alberta is a ecological diverse province with the grassland prairies, parkland, boreal forest and then the foothills and rocky mountains. The boreal forest, foothills and rocky mountains does offer great bear hunting for stocking.

Track... you talk about intellectual debate.

I believe it is a wardrobe faux pas to wear "stockings" with your flip flops! :D

P.S - Are you not noticing a trend here??? You have offended "many" fellow sportsmen with your arrogant proclamations...

When I was a kid, we had a Disney album entitled "Thumpers Great Race..." there was one song on it called "If you can't say something nice, shhhh... say nothing!"

Out of the mouth of babes!

More name calling, profane language, fictitious slander and twisting of the truth. I'm not telling you or anyone else how to hunt, I just don't agree with hunting big game animals over bait. Most states and provinces condemn this method of killing bears or any other big game animal. Many consider it unethical and non-sporting.

Self-righteous is putting it very mildly ! Kind of like saying water is a little bit wet.

More childish behavior, fictitious slander, name calling...............don't wear flip flops or sandals while hunting. Poor professional hunters in Africa and southern states for wearing shorts....... you sure make a mountain out of nothing. Practice what you are preaching............say something nice.
 
track... Slander!? You're so think headed ignorant you wouldn't know what slander is.

Look up the meaning of the word ignorant before you get your shorts all twisted... ok?

As to the majority of states or provinces not allowing baiting, here's the facts:

In the US, 18 of 29 states that allow bear hunting, allow baiting for bears. 18 of 29 just happens to be the majority of US bear hunting states.

In Canada, AB, SASK, MAN, ONT, QUE, NB, YUK & NWFD all allow baiting. PEI has no bears, so it doesn't count.

As to the rest, BC has no need for baiting due to the terrain, and numerous clear cuts. There's no better place in the world to spot and stalk bears.

I'm going to take a wild guess that you've never been to Ontario, or you'd understand why the only practical way to hunt bears is by baiting; and that's likewise for places like Saskatchewan, Quebec, New Brunswick & Manitoba.

Simple math makes that the majority in Canada, as to provinces/territories that allow baiting.

Okay, I won't call you any names right now. Other then a hypocrite of course.

Your judgement and attitude towards fellow hunters does however make me think when you were getting back on your high horse the soap box you were using to stand on must have tipped over and you hit your head.

Only way to explain all the nonsense you spew. You Talk about people baiting then talk about looking for clover to hunt them over.

That would be a food source.

Could you be much more of a hypocrite ??

I only mention the geographical differences because i think ( and emphasize think i have never hunted out there and only been out there once) there seems to be less of a need for baiting when you have land that holds the forage in open enough area's to actually do the spot part of spot and stalk. While it would be possible to take a bear on foot in central Ontario where i live it would be a lot of luck involved in stumbling across a bear unaware of your presence. It seems similar to the blueberry cuts in northern Ontario where ( and again no personal excpereince just what i have heard) you can glass a cut look for a bear and stalk in from there.
 
I hunt in BC where we are not allowed to bear bait. The idea of bear baiting does not interest me at all. If it's legal than great. We should probably be allowed to do it in BC.

The thought of sneaking up to 55-110 gallons of bear food in the dark to climb a tree, then sneak back out at the end of the day in the dark freaks me out. Bear encounter? Bear encounter sow and cubs? Bear encounter sow and cubs in the dark. Scary

I hunt roads
 
Living most of my life just about as far out west as you can go, I don't really see the need to bait bears. I almost can't imagine anyone who puts in a bit of time and effort, in this part of the country anyway, not getting a respectable sized bear (or a small bear, if that's what you're after).
That being said, we are experiencing what is fast becoming a large bear overpopulation, and if a 'hunter' (I use the term with no problem, although I see others disagree) is allowed to, and wants to, hunt over bait, so much the better, especially as far as 'wildlife management' is concerned.

And there are the typical libtard "facts"...using blanket words because you really don't know the actual stats...The real facts have already been posted, so I wont bother, but it quite obviously disproves your theory that "most" states and provinces condemn baiting.

Oh God, dont get them started on road hunting!!!!!!:). If its legal its hunting, period. People should try things at least once. Back in the 70's I made a few bad comments about hound hunting. The fellow I made the comments to, told me unless I tried it I had no room to talk. So I tried it and literally became addicted to hound hunting. Its a big world out there, and theres lots of ways to do things. But I guess its the old, my way or the hwy thing.
