That’s a good line.

A little before 11 p.m. on Friday, May 20, a wife and mother looked outside her rural home on Castle rd. near Medford, Wisconsin, in Taylor County. A bear was eating the bird feed from their bird feeder. She partly opened a window and yelled at the bear to go away. The bear disputed her position as owner. From wqow.com:
According to the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, authorities received a report of a bear attack at a home on Castle Road in the Township of Medford Friday around 11 p.m.
In a press release, authorities report a husband and wife noticed the bear eating from their bird feeder, opened the window and yelled at the bear to scare it off. The bear then turned and charged at the home, breaking through the window and began attacking the couple, while their kids were asleep in their bedrooms.
Castle road near Medford, Wisconsin, is a mixed landscape of farm fields and pastures with about half forest and a smattering of small lakes and ponds. It is typical of north-central Wisconsin.
This correspondent was able to talk with Larry Woebbeking, Sheriff of Taylor County. While Sheriff Woebbeking was not at the scene of the attack, he had talked to an investigating officer who was. Larry had interesting information to add. He was sure of his facts.
The bottom of the window was about three to four feet above the ground. The bear had to jump up to get through the window. The window appears to be a typical northern Wisconsin type which slides vertically up and down, with an insect screen on the outside. The screen is gone on the picture from the sheriffs office, so the bear probably clawed the screen out as it came inside.
After the wife yelled at the bear,

“The bear disputed her position as owner.”
That’s a good line.
Didn’t the bear see the “Bear Free Zone” sign?
New Rule: Don’t yell at the bears when they’re snacking.
Exactly…..in North Carolina, residents bring the seed or feeders in because we have bears too!
Years ago I inherited my daddy’s Blackhawk 44 Magnum. When I moved to mountains I thought I’d better get something more formidable than cowboy load. I asked the old-timer at the gun store what he had to stop a bear if need be.
He sold me some loads he rated at 1100 foot pounds and promised it would blow my friend’s leg off of we ever got attacked by a grizzly when were hunting. I’m guessing in the heat of the moment getting that sidearm out an aimed properly is a challenge.
I don’t know, man, my wife’s grandma had one dig into her trash can out on her back porch, she grabbed her broom, went out on the porch and yelled at the bear, “Git outtta here you sonofabitch!”. The bear left.
A brave woman, but maybe not so smart. (no offense)
Heh. She was tough as nails. Can’t comment on her intelligence level but VERY old school.
The comment on blowing your friend’s leg off ... kinda like you only have to be faster than your friend?
She sounds like my grandmother, gone almost 20yrs
DO NOT FEED THE BEARS
A FED BEAR IS A DEAD BEAR
Two more years of Stolen President Bidet and we will be pilfering bird seed to survive.
