It's just not crowing them out of their area! Water or the lack thereof is the major problem in our Arizona areas.
We had one in Prescott that was a younger bear, tho very large. He was tagged and released. The following week he went south into one of the AZ towns probably 75 miles away at least. He was captured and wildlife people decided to put him down after realizing he had been tagged just the week before.
Even in southern Arizona they are having bears come into neighborhoods looking for water and food.
