This bear hunt is a horror at any time, but it is biologically reckless now, when extinction is the gravest conservation problem of our era. Climate change is altering natural ecosystems, changing the way animals live, migrate, eat, and grow. Animals are challenged just as we are by the warming climate.
Well that's cutest bear I have ever seen. I just want to hug him. Just wait till we have a couple of yuppie hikers get attacked and eaten by a bear in Maryland then many will change their minds real quick. Hat's off to DNR for seeing that a problem was coming years back and started doing something about before it get totally out of control. The program (season) is cheaper for the State then hiring "sharpshooters" to do the job. For those who have followed the hunt, DNR have altered limits and days to reflect the population of the bears in western Maryland, DNR has even cut season short when limit was reached. It shows that the State has taken a intelligent approach to the problem (human/bear conflict). Chris
Wait until they become overpopulated and a bear snatches a kid playing in the yard somewhere in MoCo. These idiots will sing a different tune then.

No they won't.
They'll arrest the parents of the eaten kid and charge them with child neglect for not keeping the kid inside.
I laughed for a moment, until I realized just how right you are.
I think we should cease bear hunting and re-introduce grizzlys back into Montgomery and Prince Georges County. We can start in Rockville.
Who is with me?
oh, and wolves while we are at it.
