Oh My! Bears! I know you are very careful - but please do be very very careful!

Good one!

Judy you be careful. If they can break through car windows they can break into houses.....that is just too scary for me. Have you a plan in case one just won't go away or does get in?

I don't have a plan. I now keep my patio doors closed at night, and my front door is closed anyway. A bear could get through the glass of the patio doors, I think.

People are suggesting rubber bullets. I have never shot a gun, but I may have to learn.

I have heard that they are going to have a bear hunt. I believe it isn't legal right now, it used to be legal, and now we need it back again. I'm new to country living, but I am going to ask around about this. A bear hunt is probably what is needed. We have deer hunting season, and that works out well.

I don't hunt, and would have a hard time shooting an animal, but I certainly believe that keeping the food chain stable is important. If there are too many bears, a lot will die anyway, as will other species. Not having to hunt for food is a luxury anyway.

I would also like to get rid of some of the coyotes around, but their population is not out of control. I just hate them!

Be careful Judy! What kind of bears are they? It seems that they are getting accustomed to people, and that's never good. If I were you I'd pick up some bear spray, just in case you happen to encounter one outside.
