I like bears, and got involved in fighting the bear hunt here. It's a shame about your bird feeder, and I know I wouldn't be feeling real kindly towards a bear that destroyed mine, either. I've not had one on my property, but my dad and his 'lady friend' did once. That bear just ambled on through the neighborhood for a bit, and moved on.
@Piper they mean no harm. They have an urgent job to do in the garnering of sufficient reserves. I will remove the enticement in the evening, and he will have no reason to keep coming. I have to keep the doggie door closed now though. Buster would think he could take him. Im stunned they didnt know he was there.
@Carla That sounds like a good idea, for sure. I'd be be worried about my little dog Lexi too, if I saw or suspected a bear was visiting my backyard. Just yesterday, she ran barking at a large hawk that landed when she was outside. She weighs about ten pounds, has congestive heart failure, and would probably still think she could 'take' a bear.
