In GA its like the end of the world if you kill a bear. Its like killing the last passenger pigeon. Never mind that we are lousy with bears here. If we ever have to kill one its going in a large hole out in the back forty somewhere.
If it has a tracking collar on be sure to remove it first,nail it to a piece of 2x4 and drop it it in the nearest river. Can't have a crew from the dept of wildlife come nosing around because Yogi hasn't moved for the last 2 weeks.
