We need to put a stop to it before our infrastructures collapse. They are doing absolutely nothing to harden our infrastructures.

It was very rare to see a bear track, maybe one every 3 to 5 years. I don't believe the theory of they are being pushed by development. They are in great habitat and have what they need to survive. I believe you see more in neighborhoods cause of trash cans & smells that allure them and simply being pushed by boars and other individual bears claiming territory. Such is the case with hogs....they multiply. I hunted Eglin AB for many years and have tracked animals quite a bit and habitat, drove endless miles on eglins open areas searching deer tracks.

It is not their fault that land owners do not need a license to destroy their habitats. I’ve lived in FL for 35 years in 4 houses and have never felt the bears need to be killed.

All of our wildlife are getting pushed out of their home. They no longer have food available to them. So, they are looking for it! Now because they are coming looking for food they are going to shoot & kill them. So uncalled for, leave them alone, they were here first and MAN took their home away, so DEAL WITH IT! EXAMPLE: When we had more woods around us, I would never see a hawk. They stayed in the woods. Now, I have one that comes and perches in the tree in the corner of our yard. brianh, I agree.

They have gotten rich while destroying the woods this animals live in and we are now seeing the result. Good job, maybe we can add another thousand homes.
