Well, black bear has become a problem in the areas which they are populated, they have over populated, so a ban has been lifted to hunt them for game... I love bears, so i am awkward about killing/eating them, but it it will save lives and if thinning the "crowd" will help other bears from starving to death or attacking someone taking out the garbage, its the lesser of 2 evils... I just wonder what it tastes like.
