I agree completely! Hopefully the next time it’s up for vote it’ll pass. Don’t get me wrong, they’re awesome creatures. But they can be dangerous and certainly be a nuisance.
It sucks to hit a deer in a car, but hitting a bear is even worse! It’s getting too common. (And don’t get me started about MV vs Moose!).

This too! Abundant food, no predators, that makes Yogi a happy bear.

I was talking with a guy from DEEP and he was telling me while we are building in areas where bears live, the biggest reason we see such a massive increase in bear population compared to ~50 years ago is because the state has moved away from farming and when the farm fields became overgrown and forested, it provided a healthy and abundant habitat for bears. Now their population is sky high and they’re moving into more and more populated areas.
