I would agree that baiting an animal and then shooting it would require little skill or courage. Unless it was a bear and unless you were using a long-bow. NOT a compound bow. I'd also be shocked if he didn't stalk and kill the bear. This guy was a purist and was attempting to recreate a type of hunting that no longer occurs. I'd also be shocked if he didn't eat the bear. He seemed the type that had a "code" about such things.
