They have pretty good rules about bears in Colorado. Don’t molest or feed the bears. As long as the bears stay shy about people, no harm, no foul, people and bears get to do their business without interference.
Once a bear loses it’s innate fear of humans, it is quickly dispatched.
Not since they ruined bear hunting in CO. They are over running their habitat and very bold.
They run across the main streets in broad daylight or show up in your backyard or even at the elementary school
We used to watch the cameras at night at the hospital where I worked and the bears were always hitting the garbage there. When I was called in at night to work I stepped in bear scat in the dark many times in our driveway...
None of these bears were ever fearful of humans as they lived side by side with them on a daily basis.
