The bears are barging into people’s homes.
Indian Reservations do not have this ‘barging’ problem.
The elimination of hunting seasons and traditional hunting practices have allowed the growth of bear populations beyond historical numbers.
The larger male bears drive out the younger / smaller bears from the wilder areas who then break into homes.
IIRC, bear hunting is allowed in CO. It’s way too expensive, though. We need to give free permits and tags to Ozarkians and allow hunting dogs for that for a year or two. That would fix the problem. And some of those folks will eat anything. ;-)
