What does everyone think about Under Armour ended their relationship with Sarah Bowmar? Her husband legally killed a bear with a spear and a tree humper started a petition with change.org to have UA end their sponsorship.

I think we as hunters should stand up with the Bowmar's and ask companies like Academy to drop UA from their shelves.

It really doesn't bother me. Why am I going to get all butt hurt that they're no longer going to pay her to wear their gear? I only own a few camo under Armour products that I only buy when I find it on sale, which I am going to continue to do so.

They got the boot because the anti hunters will join up and complain while us hunters set back and do nothing. We are a very strong demographic! We spend a lot of money pursuing our sport and if we stand together the anti hunters will not have a chance. This UA thing is just a small issue really compared to having seasons canceled but we should all back each other.

I've been boycotting Under Armor for years. Way too expensive for me!

I'd need more details on the bear hunt before I get too butt-hurt.

My guess is that they were already unhappy with the Bowmars and this just finalized things. They didn't drop all hunters, just them. If you can't play by the rules, you get canned.

If we were post-zombie apocalypse and I had shot all of my rounds and all I had to hunt with was a spear, OK. I just don't think chunking a spear at a black bear is mainstream hunting. Spear to the gut is not an ethical kill, IMHO, not for sport hunting.

I am a UA fan. Best underwear and shirts there are. smile

I have only bought one UA product, boots for work. They are fantastic I must admit. That being said, their clothing is exorbitantly overpriced. It's for guys that wear full camo to hunt and then climb in a heated box blind

I don't blame UA for distancing themselves from that idiot, legal or not you owe it to the animal to not make it suffer which that looks like a way to drastically increase the odds of that happening. Guys like him make all of us look bad. So I say he can go f**ck himself and they only brought it on themselves.

Don't ever pick up a bow and don't ever make a bad shot!!!! That animal died within 60 yards!

You basically just said it was ok for Company to tell hunters what's ethical and not ethical based on thier opinion regardless of legality.

The sponsorship is minute deal in grand scheme of things!!! If UA said their film didn't not express same views as UA cool, but they didn't. Instead UA publically stated that a legal hunt was unethical. That is a huge problem. Sorry but I'll be DAMN'd if I let ANTI whining determine what's legal and ethical for me.

I spear is just a big traditional now nothing more nothing less.


You should rethink your stance, especially since UA doesn't even want thier logo showing upon African hunt pictures!!!!!

Nope per back lash from pressure, hunt was a spring hunt. What month is it?

I'm sure, but fact is thier public statement was it was unethical. If UA simply said thier film doesn't express the image we want for UA that's cool end of story. Business is business. But they didn't they choose to blur ethics and legal.
