The home owner has no brains.

shoot, shovel, shut up...

slowly move the tag to a lake and toss it in.

[Jamestown1630]

Who, exactly, is he going to sue???

[EastTexasTraveler]

He missed his chance. A suppressed rifle on New Year’s Eve would not have drawn any attention.

[frank ballenger]

In lieu of cash can it be paid off in bear claws?

Maybe with double almond filling?

[Fiji Hill]

A .30-30 Winchester or a .30-06 Springfield would do the job. Just remember to shovel and shut up afterwards.

[frank ballenger]

bear that won’t leave his home:

A lawsuit. Don't leave home without it.

[Paladin2]

NewScum is of no use?

Who’da THUNK IT?

[Palio di Siena]

If photo is true - that bear has an ear tag

[abb]

IMO, he has standing. The bear belongs to the “state,” from a legal standpoint. Kill a bear and watch how fast the “state” comes after you to protect their property rights.

Or sleep in the kitchen and listen for him every night?” Johnson told KTLA.]]

Yeah not a good idea to sleep where the food is

[chud]

I wonder who called California Fish & Wildlife and told them to stand down...

[metmom]

This is what voting democrat gets people.

Not saying he did, necessarily, but when democrats are in power, you’re on your own.

[metmom]

I wonder if dropping a box of mothballs would work, although the warnings on the box do say it’s not to be used in violation of the instructions.

There has to be something smelly that would drive the bear out.

The problem is, bears have good memories and he’ll be back if the homeowner doesn’t do something to bear proof the crawlspace.

[Lurker]

44 Magum. 280 grain hard cast.

Then shut the hell up.

[ealgeone]

That has to be the most screwed up administration in the entire world.

[gundog]

Moth balls might work.

[piasa]

It will leave in spring.

[piasa]

Wonder if he has tried putting donuts in the crawl space of his least favorite neighbor’s house and then nailing inch thick plywood over the bear exit when it leaves his house to head to the neighbor’s place for snacks.

Then there is the old industrial fan trick. Maybe a constant blast of cold air will make it a less suitable denning site.

Put a sign over the bear den that says “Somali Bearing Center” and register for grants. Then eat the bear. No officials will come and check on its welfare.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Fish & Wildlife must be all DEI hires. Shouldn’t be that big of a problem for people that know what they’re doing.
