Today I called the local game warden who told us to adjust to having a bear around or find ways to "take care of the problem." My mom had thought perhaps they would live trap the bear and "relocate" it to a more rural habitat; however, it seems that's a last resort by Fish and Game. Now, when I mentioned our bear problem with some of my coworkers, I had several offers to help "take care of the problem." Hmm...
Hubby's sitting up at the house with a 12 gauge, and my co-workers are finding out when game permits are going to be sold.
Is this what I have to look forward to with country living? Don't get me wrong, I love our semi-rural property, but I don't like the idea of having to "take care of" animal problems. Especially a large furry problem. We'll have to see how the drama unfolds...

Oh Veronica, I'm with you. This is one problem I think it would nice to have the "local" support help you with, like fish and game. I remember hubby telling me a story of a grizzly bear I think it was, that was in someone's yard as the kids were outside playing. The dad shot/killed the bear and he was going to be penalized and fined for killing a protected species (like a child isn't a protected species?)
We need to respect nature, don't get me wrong. But sometimes in protecting nature, do we actually do ourselves more harm?
I don't know what the answer is, but BE SAFE!! I know you will be, but BE SAFE!!
