Bottom line: Don't wait for them to take care of the problem, it may be too late by the time they get around to it. I agree with the posters that mentioned calling the news crews, finding a "demon rooster" lol and setting it out there with someone waiting on the bear to shoot it.

Also, at this point with all you have been through, I'm not privy to the other two attacks, but if you've already had two incidents, a few days jail time, or even weeks, is worth it to me, if you consider the possible alternatives, but only as a last resort. Trust me, I don't say that flippantly. I would do whatever I could do to protect my kids.

The fact is that they are clearly not being responsible in the bear population management in your state, and you are clearly not someone who just wants to go out and shoot bears illegally for the heck of it. I just wouldn't wait until it gets your chickens. What if it's one of your kids instead? I know that's a horrible thing to "say out loud", but it's far from impossible, and is definitely worth heavy consideration.

I say try getting the news channels involved first. Then go from there. But don't live in fear all summer and into the fall, as to whether or not one of your family members will be mauled or killed by a bear, because the legislators in your state won't do the right thing. That's just no way to live.

Good luck

Shoot it. It can kill ya and your folks, and it WILL kill your stock. You have the right to defend your animals (least around here ya do,) if it even looks at 'em cross-eyed, blast him. Sometimes ya gotta do stuff that's "illegal" to protect yourself and your stock, cuz the folks in charge of that junk are most of the time to stupid and bullheaded to do somethin about it. Just tell 'em if they dont like it that you can always use one of there kids (or whatever they care about if they dont have kids) for "bait" and see how they'd like it LOL.

Now I was going to video it but wasnt sure what I was going to do with it... Hmmmmm It was in the woods this morning. I look like such a lunatic I leave the house with the paintball gun and whistle and shoot into the woods for no good reason... just to see if something moves.

I was thinking of letting some free range while I had a BBQ... lots of friends over... anyone wanna come lol

Do we get to bring our own guns?

Sorry to hear you have a trouble maker of a bear. I hope you are able to get it resolved.

We have black bear around here...had a cub come close a couple years back. Thank God I haven't seen any since.

Sorry your going thru this. Can't believe the Game Wardens want you to wait until the bear hurts something or someone that is crazy.

My hubby says shoot it...dig a hole. Of course I say what if it a huge bear???

If those creepy serial killers can chop things in pieces and dispose of them then I can have a wonderfully fertilized garden, fat chickens (wouldnt that be justice) stew for the winter, a warm rug "for me to poop on!!!" (ala Conan O Brians rottie skit) and some HUGE BBQ ribs!!

hehehehe I must be gettin loopy,

I had to chase it away or several of them away at least 8 or more times today.​

OH my goodness. I really hope you are not going out into the woods looking for the bear, just having some fun with the image.
All you have to do is step between mom and baby (both could be hidden) and you will get charged by mom.

It is just crazy that you are having to live under seige like this. I can't believe they will do nothing until someone is hurt.

Is there anywhere the chickens can go for awhile so momma bear and cubs will move on and stop checking out the chicken take out?

Get some of the rubber bullets made to repel bear. They are made to be shot from a 12ga shotgun and will give it a spanking from quite a ways.

Don't mess with a bear! Those paint balls are going to get you killed.

The state of New Jersey thinks more of a bear than it does of you and your kids' lives. This situation cries out for a large bowl of stew meat marinated in anti freeze.

Let's just hope it picks someone else's yard to die in.

Good Luck,
