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.

I may have to think about harvesting a bear for the dogs to have some extra good stuff to eat. Were I you, the only thing that would make me hesitate would be the extra work involved in taking care of it, once it was dead. If you are like a lot of us, you have about all that you can take care of, without extra stuff piling on. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

True indeed it would be extra work, Miles. But a little extra work to help feed myself and the dogs isn't bad in my book.

be sure you cook the meat well before feeding it to the dogs.

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

The next time you see him, he'll probably have a girlfriend with him.

Just call safariman, he will ass shoot it, then get a buddy to finish it off, then they will winch it out.

Shoot it an eat it. Then send the Government a bill for $10,000 Tell them you just saved them twice that amount. Now they don't have to relocate it.

This one has been hanging around my sister's house lately here in Ct. This was yesterday at 10 in the morning after it got a drink in the pond. I've been seeing a lot more in this state in recent years. No fear of people, thats for sure.

i had a friend headshoot a bear years ago with a 22.250. mr bear was turned into barbeque and was quite tasty. I have been debating popping a bear since last falls deer season where i found out the residence of a black bear. haven't done it yet tho, trying to talk the daughter into it. probably would do it if i agreed to pick up the cost of the bearskin rug. I still think of you an that episode with the dog and the ice. A number of my goldens have come and gone since those days, but i have loved/love every one of them.

I would say it all depends on the situation, your options and your comfort level around bears They are intelligent but can usually be dissuaded by doing things like wrapping a piece of bacon around a can of bear spray.
