A Good Article On "Problem Bears"...

[Brad]

Bears are ‘spinning out’ in southern Montana. Wildlife managers are at their wit’s end.

Amid a record-breaking year of Western bear-human conflict, the historically tolerant Red Lodge community is grappling with conflicting views on how to live with the species — and whether a 'fed bear' really should be a 'dead bear.'

The number of bear problems is absolutely insane this year, even in Billings. It’s also frustrating when we still have a ridiculously low quota for the Pryors and Beartooths. I was looking forward to trying to find a bear outside Red Lodge this fall, but the quota for both 510 and 520 was filled on the 19th.

@Elkmagnet and I spent a lot of time talking bears recently. Lots of podcast and news talking about bears as of recent. Anyone have a book they could recommend on bears and their general habits? (not a hunting related book)
