What is your opinion about hunting black bears for meat, and how do you feel about people who engage in hunting for reasons other than subsistence?
Well, I hope he and/or his outfitters salvaged the meat and hide, and that both went where they would be used.  Black bear is, in my opinion, very good meat.  Hunting for meat is, in my opinion, a reasonable activity.  {Though I kind of wish people that don't actually *need* that food source would refrain.}  If the bear went down in only 60 yds, it was probably a fairly clean kill.  I think the guy was a fool, but that's his problem.
