    I read this story while downing my meal of Chicken Nuggets and Sausage and eggs.
    How dare hunters kill bears.
    BTW the nuggets and sausage were delicious.
    I can’t wait for the new menu offering, starting in March for Venison Nuggets.

    Tell me how Mammoth has a large bear population and since its policies set back in the 90’s, not one bear has had to be killed. I have had encouters with bears living in tahoe, including one that drank a full case of Red Bulls on my back porch one night last spring…my fault for leaving it out. Our bears do not harm people, just look for food….especially since we live in their community….not vice versa. There has to be a legal way to overturn this Commission’s ruling, and have the will of the people considered…HUNTING BEARS IS NOT THE ANSWER!
