Can't do that legally in Oregon any more. Using dogs to chase off bears from your property. Which is a problem here now. I used the dogs to chase off elk though. Damn elk ate everything in their path.

Bears attract 'fish'? I though it was supposed to be the other way around?

They were thick that year. I noticed several bear traps the Foret a service had set out in that part of Mt.

Have you ever sat and watched them fish? I have spent many hours, untold days watching them fish gaspereau , suckers and salmon. They are really good fishermen. The two young grizzly bears I posted picts of earlier worked as a team to drive salmon from one to another, that was a first for me as its usually every bear for himself but these two worked as a team. I watched them for a couple of hours and they could catch a fish every 10 mins or so without wasting a lot of energy charging about. Other bears working that river would just charge about chasing fish and were lucky to get one fish every half hour or so. The bigger and older bears control the narrow choked off areas of the stream, especially the falls. All the bears have a ranking, the biggest gets the best spot, the rest depending on size get the lesser spots, depending on size/strength each bear gets a spot in descending order.

Yes, we have bears here in Oregon that feed on Salmon. And garbage. My brother saw one up the road here a ways not to long ago.

I was referring to the post by HarleyT here though...

Yes, he is warped, but in a sarcastic way. Compared to the Goat from Maine and the Herd of Apes though, he is tame. And he actually knows a hell of a lot about saws.

Yep, he has helped me out over the years and a whole lot more people that don`t even know him.

I have seen bears tear open cars in Yosemite and Yellowstone. Its just canned food to them. They are pretty bad in the Sierras in California, opening cars up to get food inside. Like gang members, they also steal cars:

I have spent some time up at Lake Tahoe a couple different years and that`s a new one on me...LOL
Bet the folks it happened to are not very happy about it but what a story to tell well into the future.

We only have black bears around here but they can also rip things up pretty bad. Had one marauder that broke into our summer camps for 4 - 5 years running, would tear holes big enough right through the sides of a building to get in and out. Pick up full sized refrigerators and lay them open on a table without breaking the table and clean it right out. It tore off my doors 4 different years and tore my neighbors place open by ripping out an entire corner of 3/4" sheathed studding that was shingled with cedar shingles coursed at 4" to the weather. Took us two weekends to repair the damage. The bear would avoid all traps set for it so I think someone resorted to poison as the breakins and damage suddenly stopped.

Oly, you're missing out on the Golickit poundfest on the felling question thread. I think I'm losing! Lol.
It's all very redundant. Get in there and do some pounding before Jerry is forced to lock it down. Lol.

When I did a lot of running on the Appalachian Trail in the Shenandoah National Park I would see bears with some frequency. Most were off the trail and would take off once they saw me. I have also encountered coyote. Had one come down a side trail to within 20 feet on me before turning back into the woods. Used a picture I took of it as my avatar on a running site for years.

The big bears give those cans a hard time, seen a few tipped over and dents with plenty of paw scratches on them. I used a couple of the garbage boxes on the Alaska Highway at pull out stops, very nice of the Gubermit to provide them for folks like us...

Black bears will usually skedaddle but I took notice that the Grizzly`s don`t give a **** about us humans, they give me the once over but didn`t appear to be scared or intimidated.
