State officials kill bear in Douglas County
The second bear this year has been killed in Douglas County, according to Nevada Division of Wildlife officials.
Carl Lackey, biologist with the state agency, said the bear was put down Friday near Holbrook in southern Douglas County because people had been feeding it, which led the bear to break into homes to obtain people food.
This bear was a repeat offender – having been tagged in 2010.
The first bear killed was near Heavenly Mountain Resort, officials said.

Why kill the bear? Start taking drastic action against those who feed or leave garbage out and we won’t have a problem and we will still have bears!! Does this count against the number slated for execution during the Nevada bear humt?
Did the bear get a fair trial? Who is the judge? Is it O.K. to execute with out an appeals process? I think the government is a kangaroo court who cannot even justify themselves.
Bummer…! If we keep killing them like this who needs a bear hunt…
