Many of the bears that were shot by the year hunting was unnatural food in their stomachs. This has been a matter of corn, and dog food loaf. The county administrative boards suspect that these are the hunters tried to attract the bears with unauthorized carrion.

The problem exists in many parts of the country. A third of the bears have been shot in Gavleborg this year had disallowed carrion debris in their stomachs, and a large part of which bears precipitated in Dalarna, according to Swedish newspaper Hunting. None of the bears shot in Gavleborg had been shot near notified carrion places.

Even so, there were unauthorized carrion for five twenty-eight of the bears stomachs examined for this year's hunt in Västerbotten.
