Camping with some friends and family had a young blackie run up on the kids. They're fine minus a change of pants but the owner of the campground said this is not an unusual thing this week with this particular bear. It wasn't quite a dlp situation so we didn't shoot, he told us they've bear maxed this same young one three times past few days.
Question is I have permission from the owner and several workers to take the bear they want it gone told me the troopers told them to put it down next time they saw it. I've got my bow with me they said go for it.
Am I legal to take this bear and tag normally or is this a situation we should protect us and the kids? Season is in I have valid tags. Only set back is this bear is maybe 120lb. I'd feel terrible if something happens in a few days or a week to someone else knowing I could've taken the bear. The trooper station and ranger station are both closed since its holiday wkend.
