With autumn coming, bears head to human settlements in search of food... Not only are they eating food, but encounters with humans and damage to humans are also increasing. A "legal amendment" to urgently exterminate bears that appear in urban areas is also being considered... The "bearer" hunters nationwide who shoot bears are aging, and there is concern about a lack of successors. On the other hand, shooting a bear is not easy. Sapporo's brown bear control team selects the "leaders" every year. Last year, when a bear appeared on a university campus in Sapporo, it took four days to finally shoot the bear. Why is that? In addition, there are "government hunters" who face bear damage in two pairs of shoes, the hunting association and local government officials. What are government hunters? They have been added to the designated managed birds and animals, and while some people think that they should be "exterminated" like deer and wild boars, they feel a dilemma between "protection" and "extermination". We followed the reality, conflicts and struggles on the ground surrounding such bears.
