>>11511It does help to kill black bears. And grizzly in some areas. Cant provide any input on kodiaks.
In Alberta, if we did not hve a yearly limit for black bears, the population would increase to a point when bear to human interactions would get so bad a couple people would die a year, because people are generally stupid as fuck. Or it would kill someone dogs etc.
Point is, as soon as that happen, the public would be calling for the bear to die anyway, and game wardens would go shoot it.
So, we have a numerical limit on bears and some other species based on a draw
