Wild's Clay Stoner Causes Uproar With Headless Bear Pic

Minnesota Wild defenseman Clayton Stoner caused quite a few jaws to drop when a photo surfaced online showing him holding the head of a grizzly bear he killed.

Stoner had a license to hunt the bear, but still is taking heat for his trophy pic.

After the picture was made public (click here to see), Stoner released the following statement:

I grew up hunting and fishing in British Columbia and continue to enjoy spending time with my family outdoors. I love to hunt and fish and will continue to do so with my family and friends in British Columbia.

Personally, as long as they're doing it legally, we have no problem with big game hunting. What do you guys think?
