Marquis de Queensbury Rules, Eh-What ?

Eenie, meenie, minee, moe...............



Which shot would you try for first ?

.

[Boreman]

Neither I would watch and see which one won the contest and let the winner walk.What a show that would be !!!!!!!!!!!!

[madman4570]

Can't shoot that little cub.
heck he is standing on the bank(deer is in the water)and the poor little grub don't even come halfway up to the deer.

yep, would wait for momma to come charging out of woods to get the next "quick" show!

[FWiedner]

The deer won't try to steal your dead bear, but I'm thinking a bear might try to steal a dead deer.

I'd shoot the deer first, and then the bear while he was tryin' to get a grip on the expiring deer.

I rarely agree with you but in this instance I have to

(photoshop snob) Lots of ugly work in that left corner, look at all that repetition(/photoshop snob)

[rodeo kid]

Cas, you might be right, those brown spots look very close to alike. God Bless.

[kimwcook]

I wouldn't shoot either one. I'd just watch the show. If the pictures real, that cub's about to get a couple of hooves to the noggin in rapid fashion. I was hoping it was a vid. I'd still like to see what happened.

Buzzkillers jes DON'T know how ta have fun................(scheesh)

[Old Savage]

I would pass and let them both go for the amusement.

Whether or not the pic is real (VERY unlikely), as an exercise in problem solving it's a good one, both practical and ethical issues abound!

A clear instance supporting suppressed weapons for hunting as a practical solution. The loud report of an unsuspressed rifle might be enough to scare the bear off if you shoot the deer first.

Is it really ethical to simply watch? Do you feel a "duty" to end any suffering might impart to the other? Rhetorical questions... no answers required. As there isn't a "black and white" right or wrong answer.

I see nothing ethical in it !

Normally where I'd be in a situation to see a bear I would be damage control hunting and they clearly stipulate . "Kill up to 5 Black Bear and up to 50 Whitetails" and thats what we try to do !

Alot of you say "pass" and thats your perrogative . When we do the damage control thing it's always july , august and september . There have been some days I've sat in a tree and it was 103 degree's in the shade . When you damage control hunt you are NOT trophy hunting so in my instance they would both be dead if I could get a decent shot at the second one .

[FWiedner]

A poor ethical choice would be one to wound one of the animals to see if the other would prefer to retreat or take advantage to attack.

A proper ethical choice would be to cut your gun in half, leave the woods, allow nature to take it's course, and go straight home to live out your days slurping up tofu and broccoli pudding for supper with your partner, Bruce.

Real or imaginary woodland encounter, I believe that this is a question posed for simple amusement.

A hunter might choose to watch or choose to shoot depending on which color of permission slip was issued by the king, or depending on how badly he needs entertained.

[3leggedturtle]

Would depend on how hungry I was BTW Judging from the leaves on the trees, am assuming its too early for deer hunting there.

id shoot the Deer, after shooting a few Bear I dont like Bear meat

[Pete44ru]

[after shooting a few Bear I dont like Bear meat]

With all due respect, there's something wrong - possibly in the meat prep, prior to cooking.

I've found Black Bear to be delicious, handled/cooked much like roast Pork - and absolutely the BEST spicy Italian sausage I ever had was made with Black Bear meat (by my son & his friends - who now do all my game butchering.

I've tasted apple pie, that someone had made really bad, but would never give up on it - I LOVE apple pie !

.

[ollogger]

Pete the last one i shoot was over 500lbs, maybe a bit much
of sausage, jerky, etc, The best one ive ever had was taken in the spring, alot less fat, wright or wrong? I cut & make all my game
some game is well, gamey
thats when the stuffer gets a work out
ollogger

[Pete44ru]

JMO, but the onlyest thing bear fat's good for is patch lube in a roundball rifle. .

[ollogger]

coulda had ya a lifetime supply

You may be correct . But I gotta agree with ollogger !

Of the bear we've killed in the last three DCP seasons I can't say I was overly impressed with it either . Luckily we found a fire department close to us that the professionals there like the stuff so we quarter them up now and give it to those guys !
