On May 20, 2022, Chad and Lacey Liske were getting ready for bed in their home near Medford, Wisconsin.
Part of their routine was to take down their bird feeder to prevent damage by bears. Their house was invaded, and they were attacked by a 250 lb black bear. The incident was initially reported on AmmoLand on May 23, 2022. The Liske’s contacted AmmoLand with a detailed account this year. Their account is consistent with the AmmoLand report but includes many interesting details that were not available at the time. The Liskes had three children at home during the fight. Their account, with a few editorial inclusions for clarity, including pictures from the Liskes, is presented below:
From Chad and Lacey Liske:
On Friday, May 20, 2022 at about 11:00 PM my wife and I were finishing watching a TV show and about to begin our routine before bed. That routine consisted of taking our two dogs out for one last potty break and bringing in the bird feeder for the night. The bird feeder is located about 14 feet away from our living room window. About two weeks prior to this incident our bird feeder was taken down by a bear sometime during the night. Because of that visit, we had been bringing the bird feeder in nightly.
This night was slightly different as we usually go to bed at about 10:00 – 10:30 PM but it was Friday and we were up a little later. After I turned the TV off and was just about to get up off the couch, I heard some metal clanking sounds that I believed to be the bird feeder. I looked out the front window but could not see anything.

A dog in the house is bad enough let alone a bear.
Maybe you take down the bear feeder I mean bird feeder.
Poor bear.
Just wanted a snack.
I can barely keep from LOL!
Democrats “ Gun violence is wrong. They should have called a social worker.”
The bear would never have tried that had there been enough bear hunting in that area.
I know most people would lose their heads, especially without training, and his wife was probably no different - but she sounded like a real liability in this situation.
Story would have been perfect if the bear was made into a rug and a photo accompanying showing the couple sipping some Cabernet....

Then a deep, gruff voice bellowed, “IT’S PAYBACK TIME, GOLDILOCKS!” and a bear came crashing through the door.
Exactly my thought! ☺
A sacrificial electrode is cheaper than a new water heater.

Bears repeating.
They should have carefully considered the bear’s intentions before resorting to violence (new idiotic Kalifornia law).
For a sick ####, yes :)
Good they weren’t in trouble for killing the bear. Thanks for the post Dean.
