I don't know about Yellowstone, but I'm in Montana and bears are hunted. If I see on one my land, cool, it will move on. When they become a problem in town a hunter with a permit will "remove" it. Are they a problem? Not really, but they do need to be managed. Some schools get put on lock down because of criminals. Ours was on lock down until they got the bear.

Depends on what the scientists say. But if they deemed it was appropriate to balance the other herds, sure, and I'd pay a pretty penny for a lotto drawing on that tag. That's a lot of stew and sausage from one animal, it would feed a lot of families throughout the year.

Maybe - what is the situation with bears. Are there too many for the ecosystem or not. This needs to be handle on a case by case basis.

Man has greatly changed the ecosystems of the world. (this is ongoing). Some of it has been for the worst, but we have been correcting things too and some of our corrections have gone too far (or perhaps reached an end of their useful life?)
