I again had a a person with similar experience in ID tell me they want to kill every last bear because they actually stalk and kill newborn elk and deer fawns yearly. Does that mean they only eat meat? Does that mean mn bears only eat plants…..I understand they are opportunistic omnivores…..So are raccoons. I’ll trust the guys in the field everyday and do it for a living. Im not saying there’s an arbitrary line on a fucking map. Assuming what I hear is correct with knowledgeable people it’s safe to assume the energy needed to kill something isnt worth it east of ND with ample vegetation/berries and acorns….. Conversely killing elk and deer is worth it out west likely beicase of a less abundant food source especially in spring when fawns ans placenta are abundant but berries not so much….. it’s different terrain, elevations and ecosystems….so a bear is not a bear……A grizzly, polar, and black are nowhere near the same and to think otherwise is pretty foolish. I guarantee you if you could walk up to rhat bear in the video( unlikely as it would be scared of humans) you could kick it in the head and tell it to scram. It’s nothing more than a big raccoon.</p></blockquote><p></p>
