[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2652109, member: 29323"] Fear of humans is a learned response. Bears that are hunted are very different from bears that are not. I've read that Yellowstone has about the same visitor numbers as the Bob Marshall Wilderness (hard to believe). The number of bear attacks in Yellowstone is 10 times that in the Bob Marshall. Without hunting, bears would overpopulate and destroy the elk and deer herds. On the Valle Vidal in NM, the bears will grid an elk calving meadow and are effective enough that the elk population was crashing. In NM, it is open enough to spot and stalk. In places where it isn't open, there aren't many ways to hunt without dogs or baiting. [/QUOTE]
