Here in NW Florida we have bears all over the place. Even here at work!
The state game wardens used to trap them and move them out to the forests on Eglin AFB, but they came back.
They even tried moving them 500 miles away down south to a state forest, but they still come back.
Now they just euthanize the nuisance ones...............
Reminds me a little of a cat my neighbor was feeding. It was a beautiful huge black cat, but it was always getting into our garage and airplane hangar and pissing on everything including the cars and airplanes. So I caught it one day and let it go in a neighborhood over ten miles away and on the other side of a freeway.
The cat was back the very next morning and not looking happy with me. I gave up, but within a few months we coyotes moved into the neighborhood and ate all the cats. After that we were overrun with mice, rats and moles. It made me realize that the cats were providing a useful service despite eating all the birds and piddling on everything.
