550 Pound Bear Shot by Colorado Springs Man

News Link
Here's a guy who keeps his trash outside without any bear-proofing, who then claims he shot the bear in self-defense because he couldn't scare it away. No charges just because he says it is self-defense? If you ask me, it look like illegal hunting using bait.

It's obvious this is a rough year for the bears on the Front Range because of the lack of natural foods resulting from the prolonged, very wet conditions in the spring and first half of the summer. A 20 year-old bear that was not tagged for previous garbage incidents didn't get a first strike.
