How bear are hunted depends a lot on the terrain and the population density of the bears. Here in the SoCal mountains, good success can be had by calling but most guys use hounds. Up where Amphibious is, there are so many that dogs are more trouble than they're worth. Along the coast the most common hunting technique is to spot from a motor yacht, the pile into skiff for the quick trip to shore and stalk from there. That sounds like fun for us "old duffer" sorts. It also helps in dealing with the meat. Gut on site, drag to skiff, haul to yacht then skin and butcher in relative comfort.
Glad you realized that I was not bashing them for making a living. I'm just a bit aggrivated that since we have come a long way in realizing the extensive harm it does to our ocean, its wildlife, and the future of the commercial fishermans livelihood that we can't do anything about it?? If their practices are kept up NO ONE, not even them will be able to enjoy the oceans bounty (bounty being $$ also). But its hard to see that from a money-hungry politicians perspective.
