Don't be an overly urbanized retard. I'm not sure why the OP called it "bear dogging" but the purpose of the hounds is to locate the bear, not fight the bear. It's still a challenging hunt, and it's pretty much the only effective way to hunt bears in the west where black bears have big territories in rough country. |

I've seen these guys with these dogs that look like they're loaded on dianaibol that they send in to bear dens to drag the bears out so they can shoot them from about 10 yards. Tracking with dogs is cool, but that shit is kind of fucked IMO. |

I live in a state where people hunt deer with dogs. I hate it.
I support hunters being allowed to fence their own land in and chase privately owned game within the fence. I do not support the use of dogs to hunt publically-owned big game such as deer or bear. EITHER WAY this is a state issue that should be decided by biologists and the interest groups who own the game. If you disagree because you don't think the state should own the game, that's another subject altogether. |

State biologists estimate there are approximately 40,000 bears in California. California hunters killed 1,503 bears in 2010. Of that number, DFG says 45 percent were taken with the use of dogs. The unofficial 2011 bear harvest was 1,672.
Thats is a small harvest for a huge amount of bears. 40,000 bears and hunters only take 1,503? |

That's 1875 square miles. Bigger than the State of Rhode Island. California has 11 National Forests, ranging from 18,425 square acres to 3.2 million square acres (shared with Nevada). |

Most of them are taken on public land. Very little private land is open to big game hunting out here. So there's no issue with trespassing (the big complaint about dog-hunters here in the south) and no worry about private landowners having their management plans messed up by dog-runners and no biological reason not to use dogs, and there's a harvest of 1500 per year out of a population of 40k? In that case, I see no issue with it, generally speaking. Certainly one could make the case for leaving some lands closed to the use of dogs, for the sake of those who prefer to use other methods of hunting, but in general I see no reason to stop using dogs under those circumstances. |

I can't speak for everyones' areas but it would not hurt my feelings one bit if hunting w/ dogs was banned here (deer and bear). They are inconsiderate of still-hunters, no trespassing signs, and public safety. I watched a guy this past season backing his truck (in the RH lane) on a main road at about 30mph into a blind curve in order to cut off the deer/dogs. This is not the first time I have seen this happen. I have also seen guys forget their safe field of fire and shoot in the vicinity of houses (even hitting one w/ people inside). My favorite part is most of these "hunters" are so overweight that they nearly run out of wind getting out of their truck, grabbing the rifle, and climbing onto their rule bending seat on top of the dog box to take a shot (here you can't shoot a rifle while on ground level). I know this is about bear hunting but the same people who do this stuff hunting for deer also hunt bear and do some of the same things in the process.
My absolute favorite is when the dogs are getting the animal close to the edge of the woods and everyone thinks they are in NASCAR and race to the location. Then when the animal finally pops out it sounds like a "mad minute". After that comes the hour long argument as to killed it. If you want to hunt respect the animal/tradition and put in some tracking/research time. Learn their habits and ambush them. If that's not your cup of tea and you want an easier route, contact your nearest hunting lodge. They will be happy to pick out an animal for you and you can go sit in the stand/tent and wait for the feed cart to come by. Pick the one w/ your tag and have fun. If that's too hard find a real hunter and hit them up for some meat. Like I said I am only commenting on the dog hunters I have witnessed in my area. If you, or the ones in your area, are different then this does not apply to you. |

This is not the first time I have seen this happen. I have also seen guys forget their safe field of fire and shoot in the vicinity of houses (even hitting one w/ people inside). My favorite part is most of these "hunters" are so overweight that they nearly run out of wind getting out of their truck, grabbing the rifle, and climbing onto their rule bending seat on top of the dog box to take a shot (here you can't shoot a rifle while on ground level). I know this is about bear hunting but the same people who do this stuff hunting for deer also hunt bear and do some of the same things in the process. My absolute favorite is when the dogs are getting the animal close to the edge of the woods and everyone thinks they are in NASCAR and race to the location. Then when the animal finally pops out it sounds like a "mad minute". After that comes the hour long argument as to killed it. If you want to hunt respect the animal/tradition and put in some tracking/research time. Learn their habits and ambush them. If that's not your cup of tea and you want an easier route, contact your nearest hunting lodge. They will be happy to pick out an animal for you and you can go sit in the stand/tent and wait for the feed cart to come by. Pick the one w/ your tag and have fun. If that's too hard find a real hunter and hit them up for some meat. Like I said I am only commenting on the dog hunters I have witnessed in my area. If you, or the ones in your area, are different then this does not apply to you. You talk of tradition, but fail to realize man has been hunting with dogs long before there were firearms. Hell, man was still using pointy sticks when he first used dogs to help him put meat on the table. Were they using trucks, cb radios, and so overweight that they can't "hunt" without those things? ETA: My traditional form of hunting is still-hunting. I'm not commenting on all mankind as I'm not qualified to. Thanks for the history lesson professor. You're welcome there, skippy. |

What do you expect from the state that tells you that using lead bullets to kill things is bad?

Quoted: What do you expect from the state that tells you that using lead bullets to kill things is bad? I'm tired of this. You do know that lead is banned in one area, the condor range, right? The balance of the State, which is most of it, has no such restriction. |
