Funny. While you were cursing the bear, I was cursing and shooting (with a BB gun) at squirrels digging and eating through my garden this morning.

I was just sleeping and a snapping stick woke me up. The wife and I went to the back door and he was coming up on the porch. He/she is BIG.
Camera was in the other room though.

I sat up in bed and listened. I heard a "rubber noise" and LARGE foot steps.
A bear had come up on our back deck and took our trash can. He just picked it up and carried it away. I fired off a round into the air to scare him away. I head him crashing through the trees and dragging or carrying the rubbermaid trash can. He didn't spill a thing between the house and the tree line, about 100'. I didn't go into the tree line. I'll look for the can when it gets light.

Wow. Where do you live, the 1850s?

I LOL'd.

I fired a 20 gauge shotgun with #6 shot. I fired it at about an 80 degree angle and the closet house that direction is over two miles away.I just wanted the BOOM so the bear might leave and not make too big of a mess. I wouldn't do the same with a rifle or hand gun,

He actually broke into the neighbor's place a month or so ago.
Scared the hell out of their dogs and made a mess. They found them two weeks later down by the lake near us. The dogs knew they way home but wouldn't go home without their owners.

We sleep with the door from our laundry room to the back porch open. The cans are on the back porch. There was just a screen door between us and the bear.

No worries with that. :thumbsup:

That's not good. He's learned that your porch is a source of food. Might have to be put down now if he keeps coming back and/or damaging your property.

I knew a guy once who was leaving food out for a bear in a cabin not far from where I grew up. He didn't live there all the time well, one day he went to the cabin and found it had been ransacked. At first he thought some local kids did it but they determined it was the bear he had been feeding.
