Both were killed by vehicles.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife said a cub was killed in Incline Village and 5-year-old female was hit in Verdi.

According to the Associated Press, 45 tags have been issued. Bear season lasts until Dec. 31 or when 20 bears have been taken by hunters.

    My point being, we shouldnt be saying any person should be tagged to be killed. Those that want to tag politicians to be killed are as wrong as or maybe more so than killing the bears.

    Nature is out of balance because of preservationists and just like the over-mature forests that are a huge fire danger by being overgrown by human preservation from natural lightning fire controls, so it is with wild animals from the same types of people who want everything banned they dislike for emotional reasons. These type keep spouting off about bears and forests until a huge wildfire happens or their house is trashed by bears then they demand action by others, these are the same who want to ban legitimate hunting and fishing that has been the history of humans as long as there have been any. When an emergency develops they are the first to call 911 and demand the authorities respond to their beckon call and once the stores shut down they scream for help with no idea how to do anything to survive the emergency. Large predators are over-populated now in both states and protected until they are a threat to people, pets and property and there are very few ways to control this other then keeping the population in check. It is better to see the population control from legitimate hunters so that the population can be in some kind of balance

    I like that idea… Lets ban cars….. Somehow we need to keep the bear in balance. It couldn’t somehow do it on its own before the white man. The bear needs us to kill it… Garbage…
