I think the dumpster diver should take a dirt nap! I hate pickin up garbage when the local cats have a night of fine dining.

I like the idea of taking a youngster along to tag the bear. Either way the nieghbor has come to you to ask for help and with your background in hunting....help them out.

I like the idea of taking a youngster along to tag the bear.

I mean he has three kids right, something is attracting that bear, sounds like you have three oportunities

I am aiming for sometime next week...perhaps next weekend. I have to take a look at the area and see...

Got to call the Dept too, to get a blessing.

Maybe I will get the hide tanned so they have something to show for it...and I can grease the wheels for some of the elk that eat their property up...

Youngster or disabled hunter.  just make sure its a REAL disabled hunter, wounded warrior (alot of these boys around if you know who to contact), etc.  I have talk to to many "disabled hunters" that had a 60lb pack on thier back and all supplies for a 15 mile hike into elk camp to make me vomit.

As long as it is legally harvested, WDFW is very happy to have nuisance game tagged.  If it can be done discretely w/o pissing off neighbors or getting on TV, even better.  Been there, done that.

Thats my biggest concern. I dont want to bother the neighbors at all, and sure as hell am going to avoid any TV action. (aside from a clean legal kill)

Does your friend have any problem elk in the area?I'd love to come take care of a rose eater for him!

[saylean]

They havent complained about that yet.

i've got the same issue in my own yard. this is the second year that this bear has been tearing up fruit trees and trash cans in our neigborhood and he no longer runs from cars. the game dept. says that they don't have a trap available and that we should play loud music to keep him away - brilliant. i'm in a firearm restricted area so i will be in a tree stand in my back yard with a bow every night after work. i've got no qualms about wackin the bugger and i've got most of my neighbors blessings already. i would rather take a bear in the wild, but this one has got to go. he is out mostly at night though and i'm not sure i can catch him during legal shooting light.

he seems partial to coffee grounds    - could be an interesting flavor

Caffenaited bear jerky...a new flavor by Slim Jim!
