@ pepper, Many ways to cook bear. Bear burgers are great, as are steaks, tenderloins etc. Just about anyway one can make beef one can do bear. Marinade it for a few hours or a day in terriaki, its very good, or you can roast it in a crock pot.. The people who bash it either a) have never eaten it b) ate meat that was not properly cared for or c) had over cooked meat, which will ruin any wild game.

@ Andrew Chadwick, what bear meat recipes do you know of? I have never heard of anyone eating bear meat.

Im sure all the commenters never stepped foot into the woods. This hunter, just like every other law abiding hunter pays for conservation...What do you think the hunting license fee gos to. Bear hunting is WAY more that throwing bait out and waiting for it to come by, way more work goes into it than that. This bear is no different than any other bears legally killed. The bear was not killed for "Glory" It was killed for food, just like that burger you may have eaten last night. The only difference is this food was not raised in a 4x8 pen and force fed antibiotic drugs. It will be eaten by a family who needed the food and the hunter had no way of knowing it was a research bear. It was not shot in a game preserve, but in the Woods where it is perfectly legal to hunt. As a hunter and fisherman I pay my respects and appreciation to any animal I chose to harvest. I feel sorrow for every animal I take, and I, nor any other real hunter do not hunt for blood lust...All you city dwellers who have never lived in the woods amongst animals can feel bad, but nothing sets this bear apart from any other wild animal that is killed, b hunter, car or natural causes. The media needs to stop blowing this out of proportion, it was not a pet but a wild animal with a legal hunting season.If it weren't for hunters there would be no conservation, almost all conservation groups are started and funded by hunters.

Okay this video is depressing. I'm sorry, I highly doubt this douche was hunting for food or gives his "hard earned" money to help conservation. This bear was killed because it had the misfortune to run into a useless, creepy idiot of a human being. End of story.

banned for hunting bears under the age of three.limet to were they can hunt as well,and all hunters must sign in or be heavy fine......

there was a bear named Hope
who was killed by some dope
he set out bait
then lie in wait
now people cry
as we say good-bye
to a being, whose name was Hope

Meat is murder. Tasty , tasty murder.

Baiting is NOT hunting. Baiting is for some candyass afraid to really hunt or for some chickenshit guide out to make a dollar. please DO NOT ASSOCIATE THESE PEOPLE WITH REAL HUNTERS.

When men used to hunt to survive, it made sense...but for the pleasure of KILLING!! It´s a cruel practice and I suggest that hunters should start a new game. Instead of paint ball, they should open the season and shoot themselves.

In the hunting circlles, this guy is know as a "Girly Bambie Hunter" by real hunters . Anyone who has to use bait and can't tell the difference from collered or a juvenile animal should not be alowed to own a gun let alone allowed to hunt. Hope I don't see this Neanderthal out in the woods.
