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. Total cost was probably close to twice that.

You need to setup an electric buzz trap for that bear.
Apply 120 v to a trash can and he won't come back.

Will they even relocate black bears in AK?
Odd if they do. Only when the CA vote is accepted...

sounds like just a normal day at my house.we learned to live with bears 20 years ago.they've torn up my trash hundreds of times. my burn barrel has over time gone from a single barrel to 3 barrels chained together setting on a concrete slab with a 3in post in the center to keep them from being rolled away. i also drilled the concrete and dropped foot long rebar in the holes so they can't pick them up.bears are smarter than you think. most here are not afraid of humans .

Sort'a have a live and let live mindset about this. They live somewhere else, they live. Try to move in with me, they die. Have a bit of experience with the Florida version...they aren't cuddly Disney characters. Never saw any good come out of having black bears hanging around residential neighborhoods.
I am..........disturbed.

How to know you're a nuisance bear
If you ever have pee'd on a tourists picnic basket you might be a nuisance bear.
If the garbage man calls you by name you might be a nuisance bear
If you take time from your law practice to keep trolling the campfire with anti Trump threads you might be a nuisance bear.
If you frequent the classifieds ask dozens of questions about an item make an offer but then delay paying with numerous money problems and family medical issues you might be a nuisance bear
If you can't write a intelligent political thread on the campfire without using 15 cuss words and / or the N word or can't refer to a political figure without using a derogatory nickname and generally coming across as a smart mouth junior high brat, you might be a nuisance bear
Regards

When do you consider a bear a nuisance bear?
When I don't have help packing him out. LOL Elf

Have the tag and live where I can harvest him, my dogs are very important to me. Seems to be the answer right there. Also lots of us here don't want a bear to hurt you either. Ya need to post more. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Interesting read all the way through. Most of us don't like to put down a nuisance bear, which is a revealing underlayer among hunters. If the bear comes back, you got it to do.
I've killed one nuisance bear and my son killed one in his back yard. I remember being a little angry at the bear for “making” me kill it. My bear kept hanging around the neighbor kids bus stop and following them home, so all the dads for a mile or two around were keeping an eye out for it. I happened to run across it minding its own business a few hundred yards from the bus stop and like other folks in the area, had a rifle in my rig for such an encounter. Skinny youngish boar with a ratty cinnamon hide.
Son's nuisance hung around the swing set for his kids in the back yard and after 8 hours and running it off twice he applied a .338 to its head to keep it from running off and dying in a neighbor's yard. It was a sleek, fat, healthy good sized boar. Both legal, with tags in open season, tags we had rather not used that way.
Killing it and killing it soon, before it does real damage becomes the responsible, grown-up thing to do as you know, Elf, and handle well.

Oh, and another thing.
Salt is for the dinner table and lead is for the reloading bench.
Serve lead first.
Then salt.
Never confuse the two.

Only salt for a disinfectant should you catch lead first out in BFE.

I guess preserving a genetic fluke like an albino or 'blue' bear could warrant relocation.
Otherwise, how could relocating a black bear in AK be other than a PR stunt? Maybe if I lived in the bush like Elf I could live with it as a novelty. Maybe not. Dogs complicate things.
Then again, remember the "Bear Eats Kayak" video ...
Think I talked myself into a bearskin here. Easiest hunt ever.

Oh the Bear eating the kayak video....Bawhaaaaaaa.. I remember that one. Dogs make it a bit more interesting and though I don't keep their food outside I do store it inside and can't even imagine the mess Mr Bear would make if he decided to come in.

Just ribbin' ya, girl. Those old magnetos are too much fun! Wire in an old buss fuse cut off and direct wire where the fuses are supposed to be. Spool it up good and fast, then throw the lever. There's so many uses for old junk like that one couldn't even begin to count. Lots of entertainment to be had!
