arent wild animal population naturally fluid though? they change according to availability of food or the amount of competition - that’s normal/expected, isnt it?
Different years also tend to produce different levels of mast (like acorns). Low mast years tend to have bears seeking trash cans and bird feeders as a means of meeting their nutritional needs. This leads to more human bear interactions and more conflict.
