Crag, if locals you know are willingly feeding bears, please report them to the authorties, that bullshit has got to stop.

Acccording to my friend who worked on bear relocations, all relocated bears are tagged in their ears so problem bears can be identified. We noticed a huge spike in the population off Hwy. 20 above the town of Washington and had heard they were dropping Tahoe bears there.

They were actually feeding the deer so that the cougars had something to eat.

Last night I needed to pee and get some water and noticed that the wife had left the computer on.
Before shutting it down I was a bit curious as who would be on the Taco at 2:30.
I wasn't expecting it to be you Dean.
I also figured this thread would go ballistic with inane comments.
I wasn't disappointed.

Well,
It's been almost 40 years and she's still hanging around.
So she must not be too disappointed.

apogee... for a guy who lives in idyllwild you sure do a lot of trolling and not a lot of climbing. go on a hike, enjoy the nice weather, and re-evaluate why you feel the need to spread negativity.

I'm not judging...most of the time animals lose in these situation. We had a bear on the front porch trying to get back to our apple trees just a week ago.
He was shot out of the tree and relocated last week. I like that ending better.
It has been a rough summer here in Taos, no rain=no food for them.
Bear are special animals...the way they adapted in the winter months is nothing short of miracle.

Y'all shoulda seen what a hungry grizz comin' outta his winter sleep could
do to a cabin on the outskirts of Wasilla. Come through a window? Why bother?
Just shove the door out of the way. I wouldn't want to confront one of them
with only a 40 Cal Beretta.

One warm summers day, i was laying on my bed trying to take a nap with my tent door open. I heard a noise, look up and saw a bear leaning into my tent...The bear was close enough for me to touch it's Big head. I yelped, and it ran away. I scared it yelping.. and it scared me. ..I hardly ever left my tent door open after that incident .... Just a thin canvas tent wall between us and the bears.
Another time, me, K.B, and Doe, were false charged by a bear - while we were standing on the Tuolumne Lodge loading dock . We quickly ran inside and closed the dock door. It left..
Hey Lacey, were you there too?
I have many more Tuolumne Meadows bear stories...

A .40 cal S & W is a good "stopper" caliber for humans and pretty good on large animals if the bullet selection has been correct. Cor-Bon ammunition or something pretty stout is reknowned as a "one shot fight stopper" in law enforcement circles.
For a bear I would probably select my .45 Long Colt with custom handloads; i.e: Elmer Kieth loads that give it more wallop than factory .44 Magnum performance.

I was upset about the picture earlier but reading the thread over , I finally get it.
Bragman is posturing in the photo to show whomever it was that threatened him and his family that if you come by his porch , that he has the ability to give you 4 or 5 in the head and one in the ass. Of course you may die in the driveway but he will say that A LARGE home invader was in my house.
Thank god the DA let him back on line.
Dean the drama of your story unfolding in the early hours on the internet is amazing, spectacular and beyond. A true hero.

Rodger,
I'm just razzing Cragman a little.
Like they say at ___ , "Any gun will do if YOU will do."
Even a gun with an upside down safety lever made in a country, the military actions of which for the past century have been the stuff of comic opera.
