This summer 5 nuisance bears have been killed by campers this summer.
Two years ago a young boy was killed by a bear up AF canyon in Utah.
I don't know all the details to each of the cases... that being said...
This isn't a drought year, the bears have plenty of food to eat... so why more sightings and problems? Do we have more bears in Utah now days? Do we need more tags? Is baiting leading to bears that are fearless of humans/camps?
When do you shoot and not shoot? When the bear is on his death charge?
3rd degree felony for shooting a problem bear that the DWR would probably shoot anyways?
How many bears did the DWR have to kill last year?
