.............Why , don't you put an electric fence around your fruit tree's ? Do you have Grizzlies as well as Black bears ? , fordy === === Yes.. We do have grizzly... We did see a "brown" bear near our big barn this spring, but could not make a good ID..... The whole neighborhood was on high alert most of the summer.. Electric fence here has to be barbed and tight enough to hold cattle to get under a bears fur to give a shock.. Otherwise they just walk through a lot of set ups.. We can get 2 tags a person a year to use in either spring or fall season.. Bear is a lot like pork in how you handle, and cook it.. Un like being an omnivore once a neighbor got one that had been living on frogs, craw fish, musk rats and such from the local swamp... His dogs would not eat it.. We usually de bone the whole animal for roasts and ground meat.. This the fastest, most useful and easiest for us... My favorite is bear, pork, and summer sausage spice made into a breakfast patty mix.. ..................IF a bear is in the process of destroying your property , I would think you could shoot IT without having to worry about incurring legal problems with wildlife rules\laws !? Maybe if you video the bear destruction before shooting it you would indemnify yourself from legal problems . we don't have bears in north tx , but they do live in southeast tx in the piney woods which are Black's exclusively . , fordy

First bear season opened this week needed to explain what it means to a bear. I understand a guy was in a deer stand with a bow and arrow, a bear climbed the tree and bit him! Fella now has to take 22 rabies shots!!

In the "stupid things people do department" A woman here in Pot Hole City went out after dark on the deck to have a smoke.. She is settled into her deck chair, smoking, thumbing her phone when a black bear comes up and licks the back of her hand... This just before they went to den earlier this month... She had NO idea it was there...

You got to watch out for those dreaded killer attack squirls...
This last fall both my Sweetie and the neighbor Wild Bill were squirel attacked...
Wild Bill just came out of the house on the porch when one of there dogs chassed the squirel across the porch.. The squirel jumped up, bounced off Wild Bills shoulder to the top of the half open door and into the house... He and Calamity Kate had a time getting the thing out of the house... This with the dogs yapping and jumping at the door.. They are big dogs..
Some how a squirl wiggled its way under a 3/4" plywood lid on a plastic barrel of feed in the chichen house vestibule.. When Sweetie opened the lid, it bounded out bounced across the room a couple jumps before exiting the building... Surprised the stuffing out of her for a long minute..
Both DID NOT think it funny as I was laughing almost helplessly....
