Bears... oh my

Postby dogonjon » Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:38 pm

I saw a large Bear at the Village on Halloween @1:30 near Sushi Re. Last night the same bear was ransacking the neighbors dumpster out side our bedroom window at 1:00am. It had the lid fully open and when we told it to shoo the lid dropped down and clobbered him on the head really good temporarily trapping him half in/ half out of the dumpster. It was one of the supposedly bear proof dumpsters with the latch handle inside a cover. The lid is heavy and closes and latches automatically . Have the bears figured out this latching system or do my neighbors need to make sure nothing obstructs the lid from closing fully?
When I was young I used to think I was pretty smart. Now that I'm old I know just how dumb I am.

So the relocation traps should be designed like this dumpster?

I know how to catch those bears that don't hibernate. Wait till the lakes freeze real good. Go cut a hole in the ice and spread a bag of frozen peas around it. When the bear comes to take a pea, kick him in the ice hole.

And the pea brain kicking the bear's butt will slip on pee(s) and go down with said bear. I like the visualization tho.

Thats just as bad as going back to your car to get a gun to shoot a bear 'in self defense'

Did you hear that whooshing sound? That was humor going over some people's heads.

I stil can't believe Motel 6 does not take in the trash cans from around the rooms. I stayed there two consecutive Wednesdays in Sept. 08. Both night I was woken by bears outside my door rooting the tall beige cans they have outside the rooms. Was sad to watch him run off with a grilled cheese. Now they just post a warning in the lobby. :? I grew up around the mountains but seriously freaks me out to think what might happen to some visitor there who has no idea about what to do when confronted by a bear. These bears were on the sidewalk right under my window. Imagine opening your door and seeing cute and cuddly standing there!

Forget the bears! When I stayed there early season last year it was gross how the trash was overflowing and already scattered around!
