Objective: Allow and support geographic expansion of the bear population into suitable, but unoccupied, bear habitat
Is the state of GA too developed or populated for a larger bear population?

Most of the people population in georgia is centered around atlanta, augusta, etc... lots of country with low population outside of the mountains n s ga swamps where bears thrive now. Look at places like new jersey and florida and other yankee states with huge populations and sizable bear populations. Lots of room to expand but why i guess?Is the state of GA too developed or populated for a larger bear population?
Exactly!What we really need is to stop the human expansion. Too many people now.
Ok. Take Gilmer out of the list.Gilmer is full! No more room for bears. Wish i still had the picture of the 200 pounder crossing the roundabout on the square. They are EVERYWHERE in gilmer and need thinning out.
Do bears read signs? Will they comply if we create bear-free zones?
I don't know how you disallow bear expansion.
I'm sure there's a plan for that in the works. Careful what you wish for.What we really need is to stop the human expansion. Too many people now.
"allow and support" suggests they would take an active approach. The first thing that comes to mind is relocating trapped bears from high density areas to low.

Rummage my way I will keep an arrow knocked!Unless they are talking about middle or south Georgia, yes, I would think it is, they are already showing up in Acworth, Dallas and other suburbs, if the population continues to grow in N Ga it will become a problem when they start rummaging through all the trash cans in the subdivisions.
