Recently I was shown a home video of a bear hunt some local guys went on up north. It was quite a hunt with a sow coming into a bait station at about 15 yards of the waiting hunter. As the sow fed you catch a glimpse of the hunters bow coming to full draw and WHACK!! She didn't go any where. Heres the problem with this story. On the other side of the sow is her cub. The archer made a great shot on the mom and the pass thru also hit her cub. You see the little guy run up the nearby tree and then seconds later falls and dies next to his/her mother. I don't have a problem shooting any gender of animal. However, when we as hunters unethically take an animal that is totally irresponsible. I've let numerous does walk because our Missouri bow season starts Sept. 15 when most of the little ones still have spots. I've watched deer nurse right under my stand. Shooting the doe kills the babies. What if this video I'm referring to winds up all over the internet? Well, we're just giving ever anti in the nation fuel for their fires! Hunters were the first conservationist in this land and we should all act like it.
