[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2220573, member: 30671"] Not a bear story, but regarding motivations....... I watched an interview of a fellow that had numerous shark varieties in, near, or at top of record book. With pictures of a monster Great White shark he was asked how he decided where to fish for such things. He said wherever the most beach drownings were being reported.....bodies if found all or partially eaten, always being the result of scavenging, not attacks according to officials. Bringing it back to bears, F&G doesn't want to talk about the relocation of black bears, rising at record numbers. This coinciding with increasing grizzly numbers. Many years ago when we first started seeing grizzly sign in our bait sets (the F&G 3 decades later now report the first grizzly in the area) the campgrounds around the area were full of bears, and we struggled to get normal activity on the baits. Dominant bears push lesser bears off food sources, and into areas where increased human contact will occur. Hungry bears cause problems. Whatever are is around these places need to hunted more aggressively. A guide after taking a large male from a spot, said whenever a big male was taken from a spot, sows with cubs began showing in that area again. [/QUOTE]
