If you hunt on a mountain during archery that has corn fields in the valleys, the bear activity gets more frequent on the mountain when the corn pickers start working down below.
No bears are trapped and relocated within 30 days of bear season.When they trap them they tranquilize them.They have to give it 30 days to leave the bear's system so someone doesn't eat it.
