Looks like salt bags of this brand http://www.americanstockman.com/

I agree you nailed the product.
Post by: KillBilly on August 12, 2009, 01:06:50 PM
You nailed it. Wonder what the salt was for?
Not necessarily salt, but for sure a mineral nutrient or supplement of some kind. We all know that animals and game animals love salt. It is still unknown why it is there and why they took a picture of it.

This does however serve as an example to how things can be construed by the words and pictures you chose to use.
Post by: adam.WI on August 12, 2009, 01:59:57 PM
From the 2 animals on the bag and that website's product page it appears to be one of the bags of salt. I guess I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and say it might be for salting the hide. They do appear unopened.I would like to know who packs in a 110lbs of salt for a hide, but I do agree with innocent until proven guilty
Post by: Ray on August 12, 2009, 02:05:59 PM
First and foremost I do not personally condone any illegal baiting activities in the forum. Known illegal pictures and stories of illegal activities will be deleted. You may be reported to the authorities.
As to the picture and story on the bear... I am not a police officer and I was not there when the bear was harvested. I cannot comment on what is inside the photo one way or another and why it was there. I do believe that people are innocent until proven guilty. This might be a lesson for both sides - the bear hunter, the story teller and the critics in the end. Time will tell. Let's hope that nothing ocurred which was illegal. I will personally assume innocence at this moment in time. The law is upheld by the game wardens in this state and the court systems. Not by me.
I do have an inherent responsibility to remove anything which is illegal and which I believe is damaging to the sport. I am fully aware of that.

Yes, shame on you for breaking the law IF you are guilty.
"IM NOT VERY IMPRESSED AT ALL TRY TO KILL A BEAR WITH OUT BAIT"
There was a time when baiting bears was legal in this state and many people, including myself, legally participated and enjoyed the sport. I'm still a little bitter that this state passed an initiative in 1996 to ban bear baiting. I don't think anyone who legally participated in bear baiting prior to 1996 was trying to impress anyone. They simply enjoyed that form of bear hunting.

This was a bear camp as stated in the text of the story.
Possibly more than just one hunter?
That means possibly more than just one bear could be harvested.
Possibly more than just one hide that needs to be salted?

I say salt for the hide.

Thanks for clarifying and I apologize to you and your buddy. I jumped the gun and without full knowledge I came to my own conclusion and was wrong. Again, I'm :sry:.
BTW Nice bear! :tup:

I think WASHBCBOOK owes an apology, he was already hanging the rope from the tree.
