Hey there Viking dude....I think I saw your mom's porch the other day.
It is "amazing"....:))

"They set a kill limit of 30 bears and halted the hunt after 20 were killed in a single day"

That is a misstatement.
The 20 were killed in just a few -hours-.
The hunt was ended just after noon because officials feared if it was allowed to run the rest of the day, the "quota" would be quickly and grossly exceeded.

Just how ~many~ bears must there be for 20 to get whacked within a mere couple of hours in area that's quite large and not easily traveled, due to terrain?

I shudder to imagine.

Thanks to the [apparently animal-deprived] city folk, we can add an overpopulation of bears to our list of deer, herons/cranes and chicken hawks.
But we don't hold a grudge...really.
None of us were overly attached to our crops, fences, property, small wildlife & pets or expensive pond fish anyway.


We're just western Maryland hicks....abuse us.

Yeah, when you're coming up on the Beall Street exit, look up on the ridge. That deck sticks out like a big white growth on the back of the house. LOL (I told her not to paint it, just stain it, but nooooooo........)

Every hollow with a rocky outcrop, that a bear can squeeze down into, has a bear.

Very easy to find.

It's a no brainer.
