For some, I'm sure it's the excitement of actually getting the opportunity to take a bear--no matter the size. It takes more time to locate and take a bear than it does a deer, and many people will only get a handful of opportunities in their lifetime.For others, I'm sure much of it has to do with the ability to accurately judge the size of a bear before the shot.Beyond that, some would rather not pass up a unique color variant...no matter the size.
so i ahve yet to shoot a bear, so why would i want to hold out on the first bear i see (female with cubs and cubs i will not) also with 2 tag hit a small one then go for the trophy. also prove your worth to a useless comment.
