That is a nice looking bear. Frissco, if Yotes2call used a legal method then I don't see a problem. There might be many different ways to hunt that I don't agree with. That doesn't mean that I am going to try and diminish someone else's accomplishment and experience.
Again, Yotes, nice bear. Don't let a downer like frissco take anything away from that hunt. You don't get a bear like that without putting in leg work.
I'm not.
He is just another stupid jealous hater, that has probably never killed a bear and has to make himself feel better by putting someone down who puts in lots of time to do it and get it done the right way.
Anyone that has ever put in the time, effort and dedication it takes to hunt bears in the Big Horns knows its not like Canada. And the mountains here don't lend themselves to spot and stalk in most areas. Baiting and calling are the most effective ways here.
We've taken 6 bears since 2010 and have helped out the ranchers/sheep herders tremendously !!
AWESOME!! Way to help out those ranchers and build good relationships. I had some experiences baiting and calling when I lived in Maine. In AZ we are not allowed to bait so many guys use dogs. I have called in 2 bears with my FoxPro and like you said, it is pretty tough and takes a LOT of work depending on the terrain.
The game and fish departments of each state decide what methods are legal and I will defer to their scientific methods of determining allowable take. Just too bad when someone has to criticize. If they don't like the way you hunt they don't have to support it but they don't have to go out of their way to trash another hunter. That's a good way to end up in a useless FaceBook style of argument, IMHO.
