Yep, it is bear season, so I've got my double barrel shotgun out. What I do is cut a couple of shells at the crimp and dump the shot out. I put one shell in each chamber, then dump in an ounce and a half of dried beans into each barrel and tamp some newspaper on top of them. I aim for the aft end of the bear to avoid hitting an eye and let him/her have it. That seems to run them off right well -- I've never had one come back for a second dose.

Here ya go, Kev: But Fish and Game Regional Supervisor Larry Van Daele noted other efforts to relocate bears in the past have failed and it's unlikely moving bears will become a common occurrence for the department. Costs of relocating Government Hill black bears approach $10,000 Total cost was probably close to twice that. Impossible!!! Kevin says it works! Kevin says lots of things. That was really to illustrate the fact according to experts. It's not something ol' ironbender dreamed up.

Any bear that doesn't jello away from you at warp speed is a potential problem. I would get some Counter Assault immediately, some bean-bag shotgun rounds if you see any more bear after spraying them with the whiz. After the beanbag, get a kill permit.

When it ain't afraid of me or the dogs. Time for a bear kill IMHO.

He's debating as to wether he wants to die or not, he's in the neighborhood the dogs have let me know. He just hadn't showed his furry face in the off limits zone yet.

Sounds to me like you don't have a nuisance bear per se. Sounds to me like you have the rural AK version of food delivery a la Dominoes etc...
1) Get Art's Chile Bear-de recipe 2) Make dinner...

Elf: Good evening to you, here's hoping that there's been no unwanted gunfire in your life thus far tonight. It's been interesting/educational to read the responses from folks in different areas if nothing else Elf, so thanks for stimulating that. Here in very rural BC they've pretty much given up on relocating bears because the ones who become nuisance bears here will just be a nuisance bear in the next location they're moved to. The reasons for that are myriad, but mostly it's because we've got a very high population density of black bears. There was a fairly infamous issue a few years back as well when a relocated, collared BC nuisance bear ended up killing someone - in Alberta as I recall. Anyway it didn't reflect well on us so most nuisance bears that the CO's deal with are "relocated" into the regional landfill nowadays. Oh lastly if you're not opposed to it, a local houndsman I know takes a bear a year just for dog food - they love the bones he says. Good luck with your bear and all the best to you all this summer Elf. Dwayne PS; Actual phone conversation with the CO last time a bear was trying to break into our house. CO- "What's your exact address" Me- "Actual address" CO- "Do you hunt, do you have a gun?" Me - "Yes to both" CO- "Shoot it and call me after you do"....
