I don't have a plan. I now keep my patio doors closed at night, and my front door is closed anyway. A bear could get through the glass of the patio doors, I think.

People are suggesting rubber bullets. I have never shot a gun, but I may have to learn.

I have heard that they are going to have a bear hunt. I believe it isn't legal right now, it used to be legal, and now we need it back again. I'm new to country living, but I am going to ask around about this. A bear hunt is probably what is needed. We have deer hunting season, and that works out well.

I don't hunt, and would have a hard time shooting an animal, but I certainly believe that keeping the food chain stable is important. If there are too many bears, a lot will die anyway, as will other species. Not having to hunt for food is a luxury anyway.

I would also like to get rid of some of the coyotes around, but their population is not out of control. I just hate them!
