This must be the ultimate hypocracy hunting and shooting clubs offerring a reward to find the killer of a grizly bear! The must be the nice hunters who don't kill animals. Or is this a reverse version of the three bears story only it's the three or fou hunting clubs "Whose been shooting our bears?" !!! Never mind the porridge!

first there is discust,then there is a slow cold rage that comes over me !! this was no accidental killing. this was premeditated murder!! if i could i'd post a $100k's reward .i love to have the sob turned loose in the wild in nothing but his underwear and carrying nothing but a cardboard knife for his hunt.he is the worst kind of human trash there is!!at least those who are putting up the reward say there "hunters" but this piece of crap is a murderer.plain and simple.and deserves to get what he deserves which is a slow lingering visit from another grizzley,who could also remainunknown!as i've said before ,we are the most discusting of all the species that inhabit this beautiful planet! thanks Cher. oh and i really am trying to catch up on my reading!!lol 1

I'm stunned by the blatant hypocracy of these so called "Hunting Clubs".

“I can’t believe anybody who has information on this would let it go. When I talk to anyone in the club they say person who did this isn’t a hunter – they are an outright poacher.

It doesn't matter what reason you're using to justify shooting a defenseless animal. There's no difference between hunter and poacher imo, you're looking at a dead bear either way.

“It just blows me away that people would shoot a grizzly bear for nothing and dump it down a bank.

It just blows me away that people would shoot a grizzly bear EVER. The only possible justifiable reason is if it's actively attacking them and their life is in immediate danger, in which case it's self-defense.

“I go out to hunt for meat and it just kills me even to see people who don’t take all their meat out of their animals. To kill for sports, I don’t agree with it and it just sickens me.”

To kill animals for any reason, I don't agree with it and it just sickens me >.>

IF you talk with wildlife enforcement agencies (and I have many times) they will tell you that most of the poachers they apprehend are turned in by hunters. Hunters are the ones in the woods seeing what is going on. They buy the licenses that support conservation and they work on habitat preservation and restoration both physically and financially. Hunters, like me, take poaching seriously and very personally. Poachers are criminal scum. If they have any chance of finding the scum who did this it is likely they will be tipped off by hunters.
