This is a Sow....try telling a hunter he cant shoot this bear.
You are right on, I don't think a guide should tell his hunter which bears he can and cannot shoot. But I also think guides can have a big impact by helping educate hunters on which bears are good to shoot and which ones are good to let go. If there were fewer sows shot each year, there would be more bear tags available and the wait between tags would be shorter.
You maybe already do this, but I would like to see more outfitters and guides help educate their hunters on how to tell the difference between a boar and a sow and select to shoot a boar whenever possible. It's very difficult to tell the difference at times, but a little education goes a long way.
