i don't know how it works in your area but around here, bears that get called in to the DOW for looting trash cans get two chances then they are shot. so take away their ability to get your trash and save them from that fate.

seriously, living in wildlife-heavy areas is an awesome experience. learn to live with some of the hassles and love the rest!!!
That sounds great, I live alone and I eat out a lot, so I don't have much food in my trash. I do have two little dogs that I let run around for about 30 minutes in the open forest but not I am not sure if smokey is just waiting for them or just finding a new house.

Again, he looks friendly but its still a Bear. We had eye contact and it seems like he's just looking for a friend. (to eat) LOL.

Thanks, great advice though.
