Ocset 91 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm bowhunting a black bear this year. It's a trophy hunt. I make no apologies for that. It's my first bear so I won't be worried too much if it doesn't qualify for Pope and Young. In Manitoba, as long as I have paid for my bear tag, I can shoot timber wolfs and coyotes for free. Which I will do, given the opportunity. It'll be a guided hunt, although I won't have a guide with a gun with me. ALL guided hunts in Africa, regardless of your weapon and quarry, with have a PH with a back up weapon alongside you. Bows are an effective hunting tool. It's a strange one. I don't suppose it's any different than fishing for salmon and putting it on a wall. It's just different. It would be exciting but I think I'd prefer to shoot them with a lens. All the money for tags is put back into the environment and helps to sustain the natural resources. Bear populations need controlling. I feel it's better for this to be done using scientific data to establish how many are to be culled and in which areas and for monies to be generated from it. All of my hunting is trophy hunting. Be it bunnies, pigeons, foxes or deer. I've got a normal job. I'm not a professional pest controller, I don't need to kill anything for food or financial gain. I do it because I enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be in the minority here is a good thing. You may have misunderstood me. I'm not shooting a bear because I want a rug, I'm doing it because I want to. I'm using a bow because I prefer that to a rifle. My point was, I run my dog at bunnies because I want to. I shoot pigeons because I want to. There's no real need for me to do it. Therefore it's all trophy hunting to me. I hunt and. as such, defend anyone's right to do that, regardless of which form they take. I think people don't really question their motives and realise that they are doing it for the "trophy", the pride they can take in their dog, their shooting ability, their trapping skills etc. I salute the few that do it to survive or for a living but it has been a hobby for me since I was a boy and I make no excuses for that. What sort of hunting do you do? I'm sure if you think about it, you'll see that you're a trophy hunter too, but you just describe it a different way. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't see the point in wasting it, tbh why kill for fun yes I enjoy running dogs or watching others run, yes I enjoy shooting but do I enjoy killing for the sake of killing... No. I begrudge no-one their sport but often wonder why some just kill because they can 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. I begrudge no-one their sport but often wonder why some just kill because they can I'd say we don't 'kill for fun', we hunt for fun. Fox hunts are a perfect example of this, they're not carrying out pest control in the main, or hunting for the pot, it's purely sport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baw 4,360 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 For me killing is just a byproduct of what I love, watching dogs course. What attracted me to it and still does is the excitement of the chase. If I enjoyed killing, I'd have got myself a rifle. I have an air rifle and I take pride in the fact I've never shot a hare. The hunt and the chase is what drives me. Obviously the dog catching is a bonus but it ain't the be all end all. I've even caught myself saying that hare deserves to live, actually willing a hare to escape if its been a great chase 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
