The environmental midgets had an anurism (SP) when NV set 25 resident only , 6 county tags for California brown , lesser brown (idk if that's a species but...) and black bear . There's like 7,000 bears , 140+ rated as 1st offender nuisance and 400 more 2nd offender nuisance bears and 25% of the sows throw 3-4 sets of twins lifetime . So any given year the gross population could grow by 25% with a loss rate as low as 5% . Normal mortality runs 7-11% as I recall with drug OD and vs auto being about 50% ......... Tahoe what else needs to be said ......more money than brains . End results the bear population grows by about 3% per yr .
The guy that killed the 1st legal hunted bear had 271 threats of personal injuy or worse and that many more against family and property . His truck was eventually totaled for glass , wheels , tires , and paint .
