Bears began to come out more often into residential areas in the Tomsk region. Activity in the forests was limited until November 1 due to the threat of attacks by these animals. A high alert regime was imposed in the area. "100 requests for cash payments for each bear hunted have been received by game wardens and the Department of Game and Fisheries since October 5th. From that day we began to encourage hunters by paying 30 thousand rubles less personal income tax of 13% for each individual," said Governor Vladimir Mazur. According to him, the new index showed effectiveness - there were significantly fewer calls about bears arriving in populated areas. But the predators are still coming out, so the payments will continue until the end of the year as planned.
