"What our state needs to solve bear/human conflicts is not to shoot bears at random for trophies

Again with the trophy crap. People EAT them. I think there are bear recipes in Joy of Cooking.

People eat bears? What sort of food do you make with it? Is it tasty?

I can't eat it because of my religion, but I am interested in learning about it.

I hope these environmentalists are stopped.

Hot bear meat is actually yummy. When it gets cold, the grease/fat hardens and its not nearly as good.

Right, to suggest it's a mere trophy hunt is ridiculous. It's all about thinning the population. We have friends in Sussex County who have bears in their yard just about every day. And they are not careless with their garbage and they do not live in isolation but in a well-populated neighborhood.

My dad - avid PA hunter and Federal Dept of Ag employee for decades - says a lot of them are migrating from PA, where they do of course allow bear hunting.
