Don't be stupid......(bears)

[Lipripper]

Sooke people......

There is a green way right by my house..... a big sow lives there.

She is cool and we see her every once in a while. We know she lives right by our house and has never been a problem... Her two 2yr old kids though.

They just split from mom and are still hanging out together. Since, they have figured out garbage's are easy and they are taking full advantage.

They are now getting to the point that me with a air horn and axe is not really effecting them.

Two different occasions tonight I had to chase them off.....

If you live in an area where there are bears...... Keep the garbage under wraps....
I hope we can get these two young'uns moved before they need to be killed..


Waitin to hear from the CO.........

If they become habituated to garbage the CO's will likely just whack'em Lipper. With over a 160,000 of em' in BC, they don't take chances with problem Blackie's.
I'd keep a shotgun handy (slugs). Read Gary Shelton and others and you'll never look at a bear (either sp.) the same way.

If they don't pay a price for their food (if it's too easy) they'll keep coming back.
You need to hurt them - as mean as it seems - so they learn to steer clear of people; it's their only chance.

Toss a couple of tree huggers to them , might not eat them though I hear they are pretty stinky

Ahhh, the bears will just eat around the armpits and genitals..lol..

Word from experience with many bears over the years.

If a black bear is attacking you, don't play dead. It will eat you on the spot. Fight back with whatever means necessary.
If a black bear is hungry enough, or sick, it will not relent until you've wounded it heavily.
Thankfully most of the time they are more skittish than a Grizz.
If a Grizz is attacking you, play dead, as it will drag you a small ways, bury you in some dirt, **** on you, and leave you for later, as Grizz prefer their meat slightly rotted.
Misconception as well that grizz cannot climb trees. Surely they can. I've witnessed it, and if they can't get up, they'll shake you out.

I've spent 20 years in the woods with big bears. Not something to mess with and best avoided if at all possible.

Just the other day driving by the Sooke RCMP, just a few streets from where we live, black bear crossed the road (running) towards the churches backyard.

With so many small kids on our streets playing around fields and bushes hope no bear wil be stupid enough to attack.

There are quite a few around...

The sow by the house is good and she is a big girl... The adolescents are the ones that worry me. I was about 15ft away from one of them yesterday when two little girls with a little dog walked up to me cause they heard the air horn. They didn't know the bear was right on the other side of the bush.... Got them out of there right quick.

They have only been at the Garbage for a couple weeks now.... Would be nice to see them moved then shot in the azz with a few of those bean bags shells. They shouldn't be reliant on garbage quite yet as mom didn't teach them that
