Inyo National Forest (Kearsarge pass area) removed the bear boxes as a matter of policy. The stated reason varries depending on who gives it. Usually something from "hikers leave trash in them" to "they are man made and don't belong in the wilderness."

Seems stoooopid to me. They work, and they work well.
