In region 3 while hunting goats I've found numberous piles of Bear shat with Goat bones in it ...... Whether that be winter kill or what who knows.
in my opinion, for the many that say "wow what's happened to our moose deer and elk" most of them do not hunt Bear, or wack a Wolf or Yote when given the chance.
I do think it's one of the many management tools we gave to help the Ungulates.
wow BValley, those are some horrific numbers ........ That's why I say, Have at ER!
