Bout 350. Been bugging the heck out of everyone all summer.

Stealing garbage bags, knocking over bbqs...

Even if eating garbage, it's food you ate...they eat worse stuff in the bush.

Someone is gonna shoot it eventually.


Would you put him in the freezer?

If I had to shoot him I would eat him. I probably wouldn't shoot him unless he was a problem.

No. I have eaten garbage bears before and they sure aren't as good as a berry fed bear. They may be eating the same food as you, but I'll bet you wouldn't dig through the garbage and eat any of that leftover food.

I grew up on squirrel dumplings. I haven't eaten a tree rat ever since I became a pro attic squirrel trapper.

330-Trapper even eats brown bear, I've witnessed it. I don't know if I'd trust his sense of taste grin

My bet is he will be also. Lotsa people look down on eating dump bears, and I have to agree if they are in the dump full time. This one is only a casual annoyance. I think bear opens mid month. Hope no one shoots him and dumps him before then. A real possibility

Kind of, ya.

Every now and then a fox will be fed a lot and people will take a liking to it.

I asked a trapper buddy how he feels about trapping the neighborhood pet and he replied that he felt just fine shooting them off the porch. Saved gas money lol
