I just spent 45 minutes trying to get my dog back in the house because he smelt bear outside. I'm sure it doesn't help that my neighbor has a bird feeder out but it seems like it is every day this year. We have lived here for 5 years and never had a problem like this. I can always tell by the sound of the dogs bark, he goes nuts when he smells bear. I guess I picked the wrong year to get chickens grrr. I'm glad that the dog does his job in chasing them away but afraid that I am going to get in trouble for him being out there barking. Considering his breeds, I have to let him run or there will be trouble. Does anyone know who I need to write to for the NJ bear hunt? TIA
