If they're just setting traps instead of trying to track it with dogs, there's much less chance of finding the darn thing. They should have got right on the trail with dogs. And yes, provincial or state wildlife or game departments always downplay these attacks in the press, never admitting how dangerous these critters can really be. My neighborhood is crawling with black bears, getting into trash, etc., and when somebody finally shot one (legally, I might add) you would have thought from the outcry that JFK got assassinated again!

From past attacks in Yosemite and elsewhere, it seems they get these rogue bears right away.
