Leave their trash can outside with tons of Black Bears around?.... Then I have the joy to listen to it be smashed around with dogs baking going AWOL in the wee hours of the morning :oeudC:

What's the solution? If the cans were in the back yard would the bears try climb over the fence or what? And what happens on collection day...given that everyone puts out their trash the evening before?

Most put it out on the day of pickup due to this very issue and yes we kind of have to budget for some fence repairs once or twice a year on average. :laugh:

I would try electrifying the fence or install a motion-sensor spot light or water jet to freak them out.

We had a black bear that would poke her head in our tent over a summer... maybe every 1-2 weeks. They're quite timid if you yell and growl in unison...

I'd prefer none but I agree with this on the basis that you see the bear coming and have a better fighting then if a venomous snake comes quietly slithering for warmth and kills you for existing lol

I live in an apartment in Surrey. We don't get bears.
I have ghetto neighbors who leave their cans out all week. It's pure laziness.

It's just because they get underfoot and into weird unexpected places. There's often not enough time to detect and react appropriately.
