One sorry aspect of living so isolated is you occasionaly have to deal with varmits. "Bout 10 or 12 times a year a bear will walk thru the yard--occasionaly looking in a window. My hounds go nuts and thier barking generally runs them off. I have to keep my BBQ inside the shop as well as all garbage, but sometimes a bears nose overpowers his good sense. Now I understand about claws tearing up the occasional window screen and I can live with that. When I go out in the yard and yell at them I can understand the odd one standing up on it's hind legs and woofing a little bit--gotta save a little face. Bears are prideful.
But when it drops back down and starts that shuffling gait back up to the window and starts pushing like it is serious about coming on in--then I gotta problem.
I dislike rude behavior in a man or a bear and I'll not tolerate it.

You got to do what you got to do. Don't mean that you will always like it though. Kentucky will have its first bear season in modern times beginning this December. In the southeastern corner of the state bears have become a nuisance. Couple have been killed and reported, F&W arrested the people who tried to be conscientious and reported having to kill a nuisance bear. Three bears found dead, people got smarter and didn't call F&W. F&W got smarter and started a limited season before the citizens exercised their second amendment rights to shoot the heck out of them in mass.

let me get this straight... i don't have bears, you do. you kill bears, i don't. you use booze to clean bear skulls but don't drink. i drink but don't clean bear skulls. right so far?
you live in the boonies. i live halfway between the boonies and the city.
and just what do we have in common?
oh yes, making booze (which you don't drink)

About four years ago I had 515lb tear into my kennel storage where I had 40 50lb bags of dog food. 50 head of fox hounds and the bear did not run one shot from the 44mag and he lost all thoughts about dog food .bear season was in and I used my first bear tag.

Festus, we probably have a lot in common, we just live under different circumstances. I feel like I have a lot in common with fella's here from NZ and Australia and I've never been either place. I understand they have some real strange critters there.

Nedscreek--515lb bear would be huge here and very rare. Fella from East Tennessee killed one wighed 572 and that was Ontario record for a long time.

Goose--Casey Pardon and Danny Denue killed that monster out in NC--I've hunted with both boys--Casey is some kin to Dolly Pardon. Dolly come from a long line a bear hunters.

I salvage the hide and skull--sell 'em to the Taxidermists--of whom I know several. I try and salvage meat too but most local people won't eat it. Local Indians got a taboo against that.

I spent all morning on the phone with some gov't buearocrat trying to get the paperwork done on it. Gotta 1-800 number here I can call and talk to some dumb a$$ whose never seen a bear and can't even find where I live on a map.

I hear they gettin lots of bears down around Hazard in Harlan Co KY. Them boys down there used to moonshine too but now I hear they growing the thing which can't be mentioned.

Around here 450 pounds is a big bear... We can hunt bear during big game season but the population is getting out of hand... They are getting hit by cars on a regular basis and some have had to be shot by the police for repeated city intrusion...

As for bee hives, in this state beekeepers don't need permission to eliminate a pesky bear that causes damage... My father has one lurking about now that may meet an untimely demise because it hasn't taken the hint of other deterrents...

The mind boggles, fester.
