Most nuisance bears are young males pushed into unlikely habitat by older, larger males.
When these young bears get hungry, nuisance problems start. Some people feed bears so they can watch and photograph them. However, state law prohibits placing bait to attract bears at any time for any reason, whether at your house, in a campground or elsewhere. The bear in the above picture was fed by an individual and when this bear and his friends became a problem, the Game and Fish Commission was contacted. We captured these bears and relocated them to another area away from human contact.
