I had never heard of Troy Gentry before I saw his pathetic display on Inside Edition. Oh, how I wish I had not turned it on that day, and spared myself the sickening site of a demented, twisted man shooting a poor, tame, caged Bear. I don’t know how much lower a person can get than this. To find out that he pretended that he shot this animal in the wild, is beyond despicable and is a window into this man’s character-or lack there of. Anyone who was fan of this spineless, coward, should boycott his music and let him feel some of the pain and suffering he caused that poor, old creature. I can not even find the words to express how disgusted I am or how depressing the video (which I had to turn off) is. Gentry, you should be so ashamed of yourself. How did you find joy in causing that harmless animal misery? How did you smile and enjoy yourself? How did you sleep that night knowing that you murdered for the fun of it, and for no other reason than try to look macho. What you look like is a big, blood thirsty, cowardly, loser. How would you like it if someone paid to put you in a cage when you are old and stuck an arrow through you? That animal deserved better than he got and I hope you get what you deserve. The video will play in infinity on the internet to remind everyone what a jerk you are. I think the fines levied were too small. You should spend time in prison. Maybe someone there can show you what it feels like to be mistreated.

I had to look him up – he’s a celebrity? Wow, we can’t find better heroes? What a loser; shooting former exotic pets inside of electric fences. I wonder who built his stand for him. What’s he famous for – real manly-man tunes? Haha.

Take your bow and expensive gear all alone and take off for grizzly country, see if your bow and arrow can kill a really healthy … untamed bear!!Was a fan,, not anymore … you make real hunters look like Crapo!! Let me guess your traveling to Texas next and find you a chained up Tiger who does not have chance and loading up that ,, arrow set of yours … I guess money can buy you a life !!Any life does not matter,, how about traveling to Iraq and shooting something that shoots back ,… Coward!!

Now where will God find bears to eat those kids who tease bald prophets? Bad Troy!

PS – typical pseudo-macho BS. He didn’t even shoot a friend in the face. What gives?

“Well, I’ve never done it with a bear, but I’ve done it with much more dangerous animals and it is quite a challenge.”

Ah, we need posts about that. You may have already made them, but there are times I am away from computers so I could have missed it.

Sailor, bear hunting involves putting out bait and waiting while hiding in a tree for a bear to come by for its nth treat.

I used to think this was totally unfair and dumb. But, as I said, I study hunting, so I gave it a try. I went out with a bear hunter several times, not for the hunt but for the prep … it was near our cabin up north so it was easy to do … and I changed my mind about it a tiny bit. It actually is harder than it looks to get the bears to take your treats, because a) in a given area of forest dozens of hunters have put out five to ten baits, so there is no shortage and b) the bears, I think, get it … the part about the guy in the tree with the gun after a certain date. My hunter friend had two co-hunters join him. THe blinds were well placed and well made, the baits well done, and had been visited multiple times.

Nobody got a bear.

But, although I now realize that it is harder that I previously thought, I still think it is not a proper way to hunt a bear. Baiting fine, but if you bait, you should get rid of the tree stand and the firearms. Just you and a couple of friends, on foot, with spears. THAT is a rush. Well, I’ve never done it with a bear, but I’ve done it with much more dangerous animals and it is quite a challenge.

Yes the caged part was also bad. But I wonder how much difference there is if you have them on 200 acres and put food out for them regularly under tree stands? I understand this is regularly done. In some ways it might even be kinder – the animal is going to be shot, the last thing the ranch owner wants is some inexperienced creep wounding it and not killing it quickly. It doesn’t make the shooter feel good and is bad for business, so I think the deal is get them close and give them a dead easy shot.
I personally find it all very creepy.

What a hero! What an actor – seriously, practically up to Method standards. What a complete sad prick!
