IMO, most will use good judgement, many bears that are seen will be too far away and or run like they usually do, and I would guess that 99% of the time, when a person actually does take a shot, they'll miss due to distance, fear or whatever. I think a simple sign posted at each trail head that details the legal ramifications of shooting a bear without good cause will be enough to scare most into not drawing down. JMO.
