OUTDOORS BRIEFLY NEWS & NOTES: The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.: "Bad year for black bears on the central Oregon coast
State wildlife biologiosts blame human feeding of bears and a poor berry crop for the worst year in memory for bear damage in the Florence-Yachats area. Eight bears had to be killed along the central coast within a single week earlier this month, bringing the year’s total to 15. Six of the bears were public safety risks due to their aggressive behavior — one broke through a kitchen window looking for food and another charged growling and snarling into a backyard toward a homeowner. The other two bears killed tried to break into a pen where a goat had been killed the previous week. All bears killed were seen repeatedly in the daytime and were not wary of people."
