Thanks Gayle! I just went to Cabela's site, and found the bear spray. Is pepper spray as good? I will be getting a can of either bear spray or pepper spray.
I also hear that putting ammonia in the garbage deters them from wanting to eat it. I think an ammonia soaked towel in the garbage room will help.
I've been looking it up, and the main things that attract bears are garbage, bird feeders, and grills. My grill is on the deck, but I can clean it and bring the drippings pan inside.
I looked online and we do have a bear hunting season in the fall. One
bear/license/year is allowed. NJ is having a statewide bear hunt. I don't know what their regulations are.
I think the best I can do is to make my house as unappealing as possible, so the bears don't keep coming back.
I am going to ask who to call if I hear a bear again. I don't know if the sheriff will come or not.
