He's a great shot! He sure did stop this mother bear in her tracks.
Not to take this too far off topic but:
First lets call it what it is: Killing.
Hunting/Harvesting/Managing/etc. all involve the same thing (taking life) for one purpose or another.
So, what about killing snakes, spiders, houseflies, rodents, etc....?
Few... are the people you will find eating these.
How about predator control, is everyone alright with that? Not much consumption of those meat resources either.
Is the harvest of animals (in order to control their numbers for sake of the entire ecosystem) only O.K. if you can utilize it for a food source?
"Hunting" invloves much, much more.
Hunting doesnt always involve "killing", as killing doesnt always mean your "hunting".
