From The Baltimore Sun:

Once the flash point for lawsuits, legislation and protests, the bear hunt has become just another part of the wildlife management program run by the Department of Natural Resources.

Biologists are already crunching the numbers and will be reaching out to hunters for their assessments of the season, which ended Thursday evening when the 68th bear - a 168-pound male - was brought into the Mount Nebo check station in Garrett County by a 15-year-old girl from Friendsville, just up the road.
