I know a guy that had a problem. He eliminated the problem and didn’t post anything on the internet. He has been problem free for several years now. A life changing event if you get caught. Not exactly inexpensive even in a self defense scenario that you can prove. They’re monitored too closely to take a chance nowadays.

So far the ammonia has kept them out of our garbage and getting rid of bird feeders has kept them out of the back yard. One local guy was in his workshop, turned around and had one between him and the door. He shot it because he was afraid for his life, and when the game wardens investigated, they agreed and wrote their report up as a self defense event. They told the guy even though it was an obvious self defense shooting, he still needed to get a lawyer because it was still going to court. He passed away from cancer before it went to court, but it goes to show they are serious about bears.

where is the fun in that? I vote for an electric fence charger. Maybe build a little "pond" that can sits in so bear is well grounded. And a camera is a must. Maybe multiple from different angles. Threads like this are why I love this site.

I don’t know a judge in the State that would find someone guilty of a crime for shooting any animal in self defense. Don’t even know a prosecutor that would prosecute such nonsense.

Don’t know. Just repeating what he said the wardens told him.

When do we find out if the ammonia worked ? I haven't put any garbage back in there since Tuesday, so don't know yet. Just the two of us don't generate a lot of garbage. But I'm heading off on a motorcycle camping trip today so I'm going to throw a bag in there before I leave. It will be chained shut, chained to the wall, and ammonia poured on top, so we will see. No bears on the camera either. I guess his nose is so good, he just cruises by and knows there's nothing in there and keeps on going to the larger group of garbage cans. They get hit almost every night now.

They get hit almost every night now. I’m not sure how long the ammonia is good for, but I add it the night before the garbage truck runs and haven’t had a problem since. The can stays in my garage and it stays outside overnight until it gets emptied the next day, so it’s good at least overnight.
