Yall ever seen the kinda damage us humans will do to an ecosystem? My view is, bears were here first. Sure, hunt em if they are messing with your livelyhood or to put food in the freezer. But dont bear them any ill will. They dont understand property and crops. All they see is calories.

The reason bears thrive is because of food. Particularly farmers corn. Three hundred years ago bears would have less food and bears would not be as common.

Answer me this. What are bears good for? If folks have never lived around bears they don't realize the issues they are.

What are bears good for?? They got another $16 to the PA Game Comm from me for a bear tag. 1st bear tag I ever bought. I never had much interest in hunting them....Until they showed up in my neighborhood this year. Damn things are destructive. Pa archery bear in my zone comes in on September 19th and runs until after Thanksgiving. If a bear comes past me while I'm bow hunting for deer, I'm shooting the thing.

Im honestly kinda surprised by yall. The hunting community toots its own horn about "true" conservationism an awful lot to be advocating an all out vendetta against a native species whose habitats *we* are encroaching on.

Well just like anything they balance our ecosystem sometimes in a way we cannot understand. If they were like feral hogs than I would say they aren't good for much. BUT, for the most part bears are not invasive. The population increase, if not managed by hunting, would eventually level out and cause a die off just like how rabbits, bobcats and coyotes have population booms and die offs.

I myself enjoy seeing, hunting and eating bear. It's something I was raised doing just like hunting whitetail. They aren't much a nuisance here besides in town dumps. For the most part they leave crops alone up here and chow on the plentiful blueberry and raspberry crop we have every year. People rarely see them outside of hunting conditions and we have a very healthy bear population. Black ghosts they are... I get the farmer frustration standpoint though!

Not all "hunters" are conservationists, for sure. You can't dub a whole one group of people on the actions of a few... That's the kind of thing that is causing such a divide in this country is extremist points of view. I know plenty of hardcore poachers and people that could care less about what to do after the shot. Some hunt for sport and donate the meat, which cool it doesn't get wasted but I wouldn't be hunting just to take a life and give it away... If I have extra I give it to those in need, but I wouldn't go out of my way just to stack numbers for Facebook. (That I don't have because Facebook is the devil.)

Everyone does things they way they seem fit. Within law, they can do as such. That's their choice. Cause 'Merica...

And people like that are instrumental in giving hunters a bad name, turning the general public against hunting, etc.

Litterbugs too.

The conservationist angle is probably the most important thing in keeping hunting available for generations to come.
