Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion - the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me - from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

A lot of hunters here in northern Wisconsin use hounds, but there's also a lot of hunters that bait

[@wilurbean]

Fuckin beagles I'd run from them too

[@paudan1284]

i know the farmers definetly hate the guys with the hounds though lol.

[@bcallahan3806]

Most people who judge hunting don't understand it. Anytime you get a chance to size up your quarry and make an informed decision whether to take it or not is a plus in my book. Whether it be through bait or dogs. People also don't understand that as bear populations are growing. Hunting teaches bears a healthy respect for humans. Too bad we couldn't say vice versa in a lot of cases. I've known people who've been in the great north woods for decades and never seen a bear. Yet head south a 100 or so miles and they're in somebody's front lawn when the school bus is dropping kids off from school. We're fortunate in my state. That IFW and sportsman group formed an alliance. IFW separated itself somewhat from the bureaucracy. Since then management has been much sounder. Based on science, biology and common sense. Not politics. Hunting is used as a tool for wildlife management. It's kept low key especially near woke zones. But still occurs. Every few years the idiots from out of state come protesting about things they know nothing about. But thankfully so far we've been able to quash them. IFW and the sportsmen alliance have made tremendous strides in the last few decades. Wildlife overall has benefited greatly. Urban sprawl has done more damage than any Hunter has in the last 60 years.

i live in the northeast. hard to hunt for sure but very satisfying. gotta get good at getting close. deer aint bad if you put the time in. bear hunting is rough.

[@bigpapi6688]

We basically exclusively use hounds for bear and mountain lions here in Arizona. I don’t think baiting is legal here. I know it isn’t for elk and deer at least..

[@lukehall2852]

I killed a 360lbs boar black bear with my bow out of a saddle last year deer hunting like you said. He was an old dude. Super cool experience you can find the video here on KZbin the channel is public invader I think the title is 357 lber or something like that.

[@americanpatriot477]

So all anyone has to do to get a KZbin channel, is get a camera and read shit off the Internet.

“That’s not all that sporting” are we here for meat or are we doing pistols at dawn? And besides that, it’s a bear, they aren’t exactly nice fellas

[@calvindevilliers5636]

Seems I am too early to scroll through the comments.

[@OntarioBearHunter]

I bait at my property easy to compare size to bait drums. further north just take some slugs while you're upland bird hunting , you'll bump into them.

[@jacksonmatschke2877]

Appreciated the close. "Some people think that's not sporting. That's fine, do whatever works for you".

[@fontaineking3317]

Anyone who thinks hound hunting is easy, is fooling themselves.

[@bigpapi6688]

I went once last season with my uncle. It was definitely a process and was a lot of fun. Definitely wasn’t an easy process though, that’s very true

[@patrioticspartan]

Got my first bear using a non electronic dying rabbit call. Great experience self taught public land hunt. Lots of ways to skin a bear!

[@pamtnman1515]

We do drives here in Pennsylvania. No other way to effectively hunt bears in this region

[@lukewright9533]

Ohhhh they still run them dogs idk if it’s legal or not either but they run them 😂 a guy showed me a 505 pound black bear I thought it was going to be a fat dumpster bear no. It was all muscle. HUGE BEAR FROM GEORGIA. Got it with dogs too.

[@billyrowland503]

Still legal

[@joracer1]

We have a 350 pounder running trash runs every wensday, can easily take with bow...good meat but yet to cook one you would wear a set of teeth out to eat it. Toughest meat I ever eat.

[@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595]

Did you cook it or did someone else? How was it cooked?

[@williambrooks8636]

Dogs are still legal in Southern parts of Ga

[@HCheatNcool]

Hounds are legal in North Carolina for sure I don’t know about Georgia

[@johnparker9139]

Just lucky to see a bear at all in the east.

[@genefoster8601]

They'll still keep killing them till there are none.

Where in the east? I see em all the time and I’m from the great state of Tennessee .
