This is funny. After the Neola fire I have had 3 moose 12 elk and 3 bears in my backyard. My wife likes to sing old mcdonald had a farm. I just leave them alone. they do eat my dog food and get into my trash, but hey it was there land first.
...Additionally, if you built your cabin in bear country then you should understand that you are the intruder, not the bear...
...i agree that they belong on that land more than we do...
Why?
This entire continent belonged to the animals first, if they want to keep it they should evolve and take it back.
Deer hunting humans!
you just leave them alone, untill the dog food isnt good enough and they find a door to push in and raid your kitchen. or the dog starts to look tastier than the dog food. do you have kids that like to play in the back yard. i dont want to even go that direction.
i agree that they belong on that land more than we do. but if they just pass by and leave us alone then we will leave them alone. but if they start to herass us then there will be some herassing right back at them.
nobody here wants to just kill a bear just to kill a bear. the only reason that there is any talk about killing a bear is because they are not just passing by and leaving us alone.
Where's your cabin located? We have a little 10 acre plot about 5 miles off the main road up argyle. Never have seen any bears. At least you have a cabin, I have a springbar tent, oh and a .38 S&W. That would probably traumatize the wife and my 2yr old. I probably won't pass this story along.
well stay in the city. I grew up around this kind of life. In 35 years I have never had a Bear want to come onto my padio. I have motion lights and they run when those come on. If I have one that wants to hang out I use fire crackers on him. The deer, moose and elk are worse. They eat my flowers chase my dog and eat my hay. The bears eat my rasberries and dog food. We dont feed the dogs at night anymore and that cut down on the young bears comeing in.
i am all for letting them be. but if i feel my family is in any danger. the bear is going to die before the human is.
Has it eaten any food at your cabin?
Has it eaten any food at your cabin?
No, a fed bear is a dead bear. If it has figured out that people = food, there is no choice but to kill it.
Why me, anyway?!?!? Brett's still on the board, sheesh.
