I am with BV on this. I had a very nice rancher couple and their young daughter from Hudson Hope charter me for a fishing trip on the west coast. We got talking about the bear problems/numbers and the losses that the ranchers face from bears. He told me a story of a Gbear on his ranch, took down a cow, then a calf . He call the CO's office and told them he has a problem bear can they come out and take care of it, NOPE was the reply. So the bear comes back and kills another calf so he shoots it while it was doing so. They charged him, took him to court, said it was the worst thing he has ever had to go through, in the end he got off but the stress and money spend really left a mark on him. He told me that he would never call and report again, said from then on he would just fire up the backhoe and dig a little dirt. As much as i may poke BV and Gcreek the odd time (and they may poke me back ) i am 100% on their side on this.
