Carson Wentz, a free agent quarterback in the NFL, has attracted mixed reactions after posting a photo of himself posing with a black bear he hunted in Alaska. The former Super Bowl champion posed with the animal and his Hoyt Archery bow on a grassy field in the Last Frontier. Wentz captioned the post, “Got the opportunity to spot and stalk black bear in one of our new favorite places on earth— Alaska! Incredible trip and an incredible animal!” Despite the legality of the hunt in Alaska, many fans expressed their frustrations in the Instagram comments.
Fans React Negatively to Wentz’s Hunting
Wentz’s post sparked negative reactions from fans, who expressed their displeasure with the hunt. Many fans were upset with the idea of taking a living animal’s life and expressed their frustration in the comments.
