That's kind of a bummer. Wonder why the hunter didn't call it in?
-
Could have recognized the bear and didn’t want the negative press. May not have wanted to mess with it...may not have had a tag. ??? Forgot it while packing up. Decided not to take for weight purposes....
-
The comments astound me. :yike:
-
Twice cooked bear??? Works for potatoes..... Not to mention the natural smoke...... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: Joking of course. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Really...just joking. :peep:

Long store about one bear. I had to stop at paragraph 2. Must be short on things to write about.
-
Wow.. to soon... don’t be so insensitive!! :yike:
jk I’m lmao!!!! And a bit hungry now! :chuckle:

I see they they said it appeared the meat had been taken. Not sure why it a new story.
-
time to rename this bear!
-
:cue: Should we call him Cue instead. LOL
im telling you, you want entertainment, read the comments on socail media. Holy smokes. I think most of them only read half of the article as well, because most of them didnt get to the part where the meat and hide were taken.

That's actually an informative article compared the the garbage that KOMO posted on their FB page. There's literally people saying that they hope the hunter's children get shot as a form of cosmic karma. Unreal. Summary - Bear is shot, meat is taken, collar is left behind and not called in (not legally required). No crime, non-story. The mental state of so many in Washington amazes me.

If I had shot that bear I would of gotten it mounted with a collar and a name tag. The hunter should be proud, I’m actually surprised it took 2 years before the bears death.
-
Well they certainly tried their best to humanize the bear and demonize the hunter in this article. Even their admission that everything the hunter did was legal seemed begrudging. It's so frustrating the way they try to spin everything. And I refuse to read the comments on stories like this...my blood pressure can't take it :chuckle:

:chuckle: name tag... hillarious
-
I’m genuinely happy that they got to give the bear a new chance to be a bear and I’m sure the bear appreciated that. But it was still a wild animal and subject to the rules of nature. Congrats to the hunter and I don’t blame them one bit for not calling the collar in

Come on it was released back into the wild what do they think might happen. I have seen other bears with collars like a hunter is going to be able to tell this one from any other and if it was such a representative of the Complex fire put it in a zoo and protect it.
-
The more people that read this article the more it will be promoted. Shhhhh, don’t give the mental midgets any more ammo.

@boneaddict, I've been reading those too. It's a combination of vegetarians (which I can respect), meat eaters who think hunting is wrong (which I can't), people who didn't actually read the article (which I refuse to), and a few hunters :tup:
-
I wouldn't report it either!
I seen what the ranchers went through when WDFW culled wolves that were killing livestock. Death threats on their phones, cut fences, shot cattle, gates left open, salt blocks removed all kinds of bad things started happening with a frequency far beyond a typical ranching year.
heck with that, and look at the comments on the article, would you want your name leaked to the public?
-
Too bad the hunter didn't just chuck the collar in the trash instead of leaving it there.
Legal game animal, likely taken legally.
Notice how anytime an animal achieves some notoriety, it's a bad thing when it's killed: Cinder the bear, some danged wolf just outside Yellowstone, Charlie the lion or whatever his name was.... Each of those became special cases for the anti-hunters.
My advice? Don't shoot animals that have been named! ;)
Or, toss the collar in the trash.

Sorry, but I didn't see anything in the article that tried to demonize the hunter. Even the rehab people that were quoted seemed very accepting of the situation.

I was thinking note to self don’t ever shoot an animal that has a name! First bullwinkle, Cecil the lion and now cinder! You are supposed to hook those collars to mud Flap on a truckers diesel. That way the biologist can have fun explaining how the animal migrated to Alabama :chuckle:
-
I actually think I have a really good idea about who shot him but I wouldn't wish that info getting out on my worst enemy
-
The animal lovers name a bear, rehabilitate it, release back into the wild, gets legally killed and they come unglued. To bad, so sad.
One other thing, these animal lovers need to stop humanizing these animals and stop naming them. They are wild animals.
-
Good Lord. Scary what is accepted as reality by some.

They didn't need too, all they had to do was release the news and let events unfold.
They could have kept it under wraps and not said anything....

Congratulate him for me on killing a bear.

You guys have to realize that after the movie free willy, which is a fictional story, it 'inspired' the uninformed to stir up a frenzy. The whale that starred in the movie, and basically only knew captivity in its entire life, was demanded to be flown to iceland or somewhere (where they hunt whales ironically) to be released with its family. Even after many millions of dollars spent the whale could not be taught how to eat in the wild (feed itself), its family swam away from it and it died.
But yeah, once an animal is given a name and a personality, its almost like it becomes a character, not an animal. The way people handle these situations is ridiculous to me.

I think so much of it is a disconnect from actual nature. Most people live in cities these days, few people hunt or fish or even hike. The vast majority of our populations don't understand nature at all, they have never even experienced it for more than a couple hours maybe. And whatever they are shown on TV.

My buddy shot Cinder
Met her on Tinder
Thought she looked tender
Decided to ender
Now she's in his freezer
Weekly he eatzer
It drives the ARFs crazy
But boy, is she tasty
-
How have we not addressed trichinosis on this thread yet?
Surely that bear was trich-free considering it was already cooked at one point.

Why wouldn't you take the collar? Even if you didn't want it, it could have gone on the bumper of a truck at the Flying J.
-
Congrats to the hunter who got the bear. I would of slipped the collar off and put it in Inslee's garbage can.
