Hello, Bears are on the increase [in my area anyway] I have seen 4 in the last two weeks in my yard, more than I have seen in the last 5 years. Unfortunatly I had to shoot one yesterday it came in the yard in the early afternoon it was ragged and was acting very strange, [walking in circles out in the open] it showed no fear of myself or the other two adults who were in the yard it was at the back portion of the yard, when it seen us it started walking toward us at a slow shuffle I said to get inside the house just incase , we went inside the bear started to circle around the house, twice it stood up against the window so I brought out the 12g opened the upper window and fired a bird load in the air, the bear just looked around then went to the front door and started to push and sniff around the door my granddaughter started to get upset thinking the bear was going to come in and so did I, so I reached for the slugs went out the back walked around front, the bear seen me and started to come at me so I put two into the front of his chest [semi auto] this is the first bear that did not run fom me. all in all a very strange and sad experiance strange because of the boldness of the bear and sad that I had to shoot it with out wanting to. |

I had to enforce the "tresspassing act" on a few this year. The dog couldn't keep them back anymore. |

I hear your point Final, just sad that the Ontario governement doesn't open the spring bear hunt again. Problems like your would surelly decrease. When bears don't fear us anymore, a problem is on the rise. |
