You really do not want them around.

Bears aren't as bad as you make them out to be. You'll be fine.

Tell that to two of my calves, and yeah I shot that son of a bitch and turned him into dog food.

Over 20 years about 15,000 dollars of damage to barns and coops, bears trying to get at feed and chickens.

They come here, either they die or I get eaten.

I live in prime bear country having them come through is a regular occurrence.

I have hunted bears for over 50 years.

I do know a bit about bears.

Sorry they are a pain to have around ones home.
