That would also be illegal seeing that most dumpsters are located within 300 feet of the building that they service.
Additionally:
This bear would have been put down eventually. It is all to common for people to allow an animal access to food within close proximity to themselves for their own enjoyment, then as the animal becomes more aggressive and starts looking for fresher food the looky-loo's all of a sudden do not think it is neat to see an animal that close.
No way of knowing if the situation of the shooting went down exactly as described, but sounds unlikely that it would have been shot within any proximity of buildings or out of season as a report for illegal harvest of an animal would be on file with fish and game, unless THEY handled the removal.
P.S. I know all of us hunters are just ignorant cowboys that go shooting the place up whenever we get a chance to fire a weapon at an animal, but there are severe penalties for violating any of this states hunting laws or regulations.
