Bear study area

[Smiley]

I have been hearing of some pretty crappy ethics going on in the bear study units in western Idaho.
One in particular is of a guy from southern Idaho ( I heard preston but not sure and do not know his name ) that he killed 8 sows last year for friends he had put in and that this year he killed 4 and a this years cub .
I do not know if this is true or not but would like to know and would like to talk to the slob .
Thanks for any information .
I would like to know if this is true or false.

COME ON GUYS BAND TOGETHER , MAYBE ONE GUY HAD HIS INFO. WRONG GIVE HIM A BREAK. IF THE LAW ALLOWS THE TAKING OF SOW WHAT CAN YOU DO? TRY AND SPREAD THE WORD THROUGH YOUR LOCAL CLUB TO REFRAIN FROM TAKING SOWS. SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A COASTY THAT MOVED OVER THERE AND HASN'T SETTLED DOWN YET. HE WILL SOON FIND OUT BIGGER IS BETTER, AND THE REPUTATION OF KILLING MONSTER BEARS IS FAR BETTER THAN THE REPUTATION OF KILLING SMALL SOWS. THATS JUST 2 CENTS FROM THE COAST

Call the local warden and get the guys name, then talk with him.

JUST START TALKING ABOUT THE GUY WHO CAN ONLY CATCH SOWS , HIS DOGS CAN'T PUT ANY PRESSURE ON THOSE ROUGH BOARS..............

I was told there weren't any rough bears in the bear park? Just what I have heard.

Blackandtanman1 nailed it. I live in unit 31 and have hunted it for years. The bear #'s are way down. There are still alot of bears but not like it used to be. They do have 75 draw tags passed out, spring and fall. The study is bogus and has been going on for years. What else do you need to know about a bear?

aw yes the land of the pop up bears. i do have to say that there is a definit decrease in the bear numbers there. but i dought it is because 4 sows got killed... yes sows are your future but looking at the big picture is the F&G just need to reduce the total bear harvest in that area to let them rebound a little.. fighting with each other is not how to get it done. every one needs to wright letters to the F&G and just exsplain that you are concerned with the bear numbers in the area.
