Have you ever been charged by a male bear? Have you ever had a mamma bear and her two cubs on your porch or the mamma bear try to break into your kitchen window when you were home? Well I have. And my campers are endangered.

So are you going to bring your guns to my house and shoot the bears? Well more bears will come next week. Until the trash stops being the lure, we who live in bear country will continue to have bear encounters from bears who have learned to depend on human trash “handouts”. These bears can no longer hunt for their own food because they now expect these handouts to continue. These bears train their cubs where to get food; they are trained to go to the homes of humans (who by the way, could possible more cognizant of what they do with their trash)! You might as well throw your trash onto the street; why make it harder for the bears to find their sustenance and easier for hunters to kill; you call that fair game?
I am not against hunting but I would expect humans to follow the laws of nature and not just their own laws that serve only the human race.
