For years I live just down the hill from you, in Weimar. Had to deal with them every year. First things first, LOAD YOUR GUN, next get a good electric fence up. Run the hot though barb wire, this penetrates the hide. The little thin wire that comes for electric fences doesn't do a thing to the bear. Some people will tell you to place bacon or something on the wire, so the bear get a nose shot. Good luck with your bear. I just moved in June and again this year all my friends have said each sow had 2 or 3 cubs with them.
