The last one I knew of that we had that was approaching a grand was affectionately named Bozo by the locals. They continually fed him, were warned by the PGC not to, as it is illegal to do so as well as being stupid and dangerous. One day in bear season someone who knew the bear's habits and travel paths from where he was being fed set up and ambushed him and killed him. Oh the crying and moaning about poor Bozo being killed. Truth of the matter is he did everyone a favor by taking that bear out of the gene pool before the PGC had to do it and it was the fault of those crying and moaning that the bear got killed. Had they not made him accustomed to being fed he would probably still be alive. Not my cup of tea to shoot a semi tame animal but problem solved.
