Dwayne,
I chuckled at your phone conversation, I think my phone conversation would be similar though they might remind me to be careful and not hit one of the dogs by accident.
I'm also in the camp of relocating would be costly and probably then create an issue for someone else. I live in an area that can't be accessed by car or truck, only ATV, foot, bicycle or dog sled and snowmachine in the winter. I couldn't imagine the circus it would be to get the 'stuff' needed for a relocation out here and then remove the bear. The bruin will meet his maker if he returns, I'm ok with that. When one lives as I do you have to be ok with some decisions you might need to make that some of the rest of the world would never understand. I may have to think about harvesting a bear for the dogs to have some extra good stuff to eat.
