Ethical question

[DoubleJ]

I know it's not ethical to shoot a sow with a cub but, if you had 2 bear tags, is it ethical to shoot both the sow AND the cub?  Your thoughts.

[gasman]

To me taht would be an awsome mount. Mother and cub together

I personally wouldnt want to, but if the situation persented itself, I had shot the mom, then noticed the cub and I had the tag, I might just take care of the situation.

I could always use slippers...

I figure if your willing to shoot yogina, why not shoot boo boo too.

[HuntingFanatic]

Those would be some warm slippers! lol

[bigtex]

Personally I wouldn't do it. I just don't think I could shoot a cub, to me it would be like shooting a fawn. I hold off on smaller bears as well. I just dont think there is really that much meat to gain by shooting a cub

[FC]

You call that one "barbecue size".

[carpsniperg2]

yeah somthing i would not do. but would not give anyone any guilt over it. it is your tags.

[testar77]

If it were a situation where I shot momma not knowing there was a cub present, then saw the cub.... I actually might, only for the reason that survival chance might be bleak for the cub, and would rather it not suffer and starve to death........     I think that would be the only situation that I MIGHT consider it, but like others said, that's just my opinion, they are your tags

thats heartwrenching.  Just to be clear, i dont think i could do it.  I was just making another discussion thread.

I would feel like a real *censored* if I did that, so no

Me too....but that's just my opinion.

[WDFW-SUX]

No!!!!!!

[BlackRidge]

I wouldnt, not because its cold-blooded or anything, but more because at the time, I dont think you can techincally have that 2nd tag. I could be mistaken, but don't you need to fill your first before you can get your 2nd?

....I gotta admit though, having a real teddy bear for the girlfriend would be pretty sweet

That fawn thing though.... no.

[Machias]

For me, nope.

You can purchase both tags at the same time. 

[pjb3]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not ethical at all

[Hunterman]

Its your choice..If you want to blow a second tag on a cub go for it.Is it unethical,, hell no..What would be unethical??Your tag use it if you want to..If not,,the cub might make it..No different than shooting an cow with a calf, or a doe with a fawn...
