Pdq, that is a ridiculous statement. I am a hunter, both with muzzleloader and bow. While I would agree that a charging bear is frightful, shooting any animal that is caged, regardless of the weapon used, amounts to nothing more than shooting fish in a barrel. There is no risk, no effort at scouting and tracking, and is being done solely to put a trophy on the wall at the expense of a magnificent animal's life. It shows no respect for the animal or the tradition. It is a practice reserved for low life trash hunters.
