No one likes it but apparently this is the only way to keep the bear population in check. I get multiple alerts a day from neighbors on Ring seeing bear(s) on their property.

It's not the only way. We could tear down all the buildings and infrastructure and restore the land to how to was so the bears can have their habitat back.

That's not gonna happen so we gotta hunt them. And we need to up the amount of deer hunters can take too. Those poor things eat the poisonous plants in suburbs that were specifically planted to be deer resistant, because they're overpopulated and starving. It's cruel to let all of them suffer like that every winter, a quick death for some and enough food for the rest is more ethical and merciful

As someone sitting in a ground blind currently I can say all hunting of any animal is very regulated here

Good luck this morning!
