Now, the bear population is increasing; we saw one as we came down
from breakfast at the Peaks of Otter Lodge last week, a near mature
brownie, which is usually a rare experience.

Can expect a story on TV here in L/A almost every day that aminal
control has had to tranqualize a brown bear found in somebody's back
yard and take them back up into the mountains for release.

Usually, they are looking for food.

As far as the increasing deer population, it is happening nationwide
and has been attributed to the Bambi complex.
