Good Grief. I think you answered most of your own questions.

Let's make sure we hang onto some honesty for the discussion. Strapping a go pro to your spear, and poking a bear with it is a little suspect in the "traditional method" class of hunting.
Also, that idiot - who admittedly did the right thing and waited overnight rather than following up in the dark for a wounded critter - showed ZERO humility or respect for the life of the animal that bled to death overnight and was far more interested in his "footage" and the sweet Facef&$% pics he had gotten. A little respect and class goes a long way.
Who cares what the Anti-crowd thinks, they will ALWAYS hate it. But that spear dude you refer to - while totally legal - was a tool and we should regard him as such. He was Mezmochill's troll effort personified.
A joke + mild opposition does not equate to trolling.
I hunt and fish, I do not trophy hunt and fish, I do it because that’s how I was raised and I enjoy getting food from nature. I got friends that trophy hunt or go for coyotes, I’m not into that, if I kill it, I eat it.

In fact, many hunters will report that in addition to the satisfaction resulting from successfully hunting a hard earned “trophy”; the table fare quality of an animal increases significantly if the hunter has chosen to put in the time, energy and effort to pursue and kill an exceptionally large and mature example of the species.
