It would be interesting to know what some of you think of a hunter who shoots a bear hibernating in its den.
If the guy needed food etc. maybe it would be ok but he must have been pretty desperate to get a trophy bear, to go into a den to shoot it >>
"A hunter from Craig may have killed one of the biggest bears ever in Colorado.
But how the hunter bagged his prize is creating quite a controversy, according to CBS affiliate KCNC.
Richard Kendall told The Craig Daily Press that he tracked the 700 pound bear to its den north of Meeker, then waited five hours for it to come out.
When the bear did not emerge, he went in and killed it.
The Division of Wildlife says it has been getting lots of calls from people outraged about how Kendall killed the bear.
"There are certainly ethical standards within the hunting community: Don't shoot ducks on a pond. Don't shoot turkeys on a roost. Don't shoot bears in a den," Hampton told the station."
