I’ve hunted since I was a child-for meat and other personal use-hides,etc, no trophies or crap like that-the penalties for poaching in this state are ruinous-and poaching is dangerous-around here, the person whose property the poacher is trespassing on to make a kill might just take matters into his/her own hands before the sheriff and/or game warden gets called-and they will likely not even be fined for that, either...
Those sick and disgusting people in Florida are no different than people who stage and make videos of dog or cock fights for other sick and cruel people to see-they might also be poachers, but they are certainly not hunters...
Using bait and hounds for hunting bears is legal in several states.
I think the prosecutors statements are inflammatory on purpose.
There are hundreds of video’s of bear hunting with hounds on the net.
Without seeing the actual videos I would not be to quick to judge.
