I own 100 acres in Unit 32A, and am concerned about the number of bears on my land. We can't go camping without the bears destroying our things. I tried unsuccessfully to draw for controlled hunts. I don't want a bunch of Yahoos up there hunting my land.

What can I do?
Answer: 
Perhaps you should consider signing up for the Access Yes! program. The program compensates landowners for allowing hunting and/or fishing on their property. The landowner retains control over the terms of the access, which would likely minimize the "Yahoo" factor. Posting your private land is also an option for "Yahoo" control but will be pretty much ignored by the bears.
