For the last couple of weeks, some of  the neighborhood dogs have been getting into my trash can. So, last night, awakened by our dog barking in the fenced back yard at 2a.m., I got up to see what had him so pissed off. I got to the  front door just in time to hear the dogs getting into the trash container. I flipped on the light, fumbled with the locks and charged out  the front in my boxer briefs to be met with the sight of the East bound end of a West bound black bear. He scampered to the tree line (25' or so) and turned to look at me. Easily 300 lbs and probably just a youngster, he made my heart skip a beat or two, lookin at me. Totally awesome wildlife experience in the comfort of my own home!
Called Fish and Game and I am still waiting for the Bear specialist to get back to me.  I did learn that they don't like Top ramen, cuz he seems to pick it over and leave the noodles in the driveway.

I called the Sheriff's office and talked to Gunsap's wife ( a dispatcher) and asked her to send the SWAT team to dispatch the intruder on my property. She laughed and said that he seems to get around out here.

Apparently he didnt like your fare....that alone might keep his ass away LOL...he didnt look chinese did he

Ron.........Bet that woke you up,I have'nt heard that in years........... East bound end of a West bound black bear

Sounds like a pre-emptive strike might be in order to ensure the safety of you and your family.  

(Grumbly Ned from Southpark voice) HE's COMIN' RIGHT FOR US!
If he continues to be a problem, I am gonna give him some rubber buckshot in the ass.
Trash is now locked in shed in back yard.

Ron, you might be missing a shed soon...nothing except death will stop a bear if he thinks theres something to eat in there. Maybe a flash bang grenade would scare the shit out of him LOL
