If youd like to be on or off this Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.
If he's not back, his relatives will. Free food is tempting.

I recall reading about the scavengers who ate a horse that fell off a cliff.
The naturalist studying the area reported that the various critters; a fox, some coyotes, a badger and a couple bear revisited the site at about the same time of year for multiple years hoping to find another fall victim.
I don’t think a two week break is going to discourage the bears...

Will that work to deter people seeking food stamps?

Why not open the area to hunters (at a fee) for a period of time?
Cull the bears, raise some money; two birds, one stone.

So at the end of the 2 weeks are the bears going to disneyworld or something? Or will they be getting EBT cards.

Rather than a fee, they’d have better luck with the problem by offering bountys on the bears....

They are on a time out. :-)

What happened to the good old days when parents threw their kids in the car and everyone drove to the dump to watch the bears go through the trash at night with their headlights on?

They don’t got guns in Wisconsin?

This just proves that bears can be re-educated faster than a low information EBT carrier.

all my kids, now it their 40s & 50’s have fond memories of cars lined up at the dump waiting for the bears to arrive. Reminded me of a drive-in movie, the cars were lined up perfectly....one jerk let his kids out of the car when the dump had about 7 bears in it....upper penisular of Michigan is lousy with bears....and every little town had its own dump.. :O). We visited several...

So you can’t own a Thompson Contender in .45-70 and carry it in a shoulder holster in Wisconsin?

Yep, We did it in northern WI when we were on vacation.
To: elkfersupper; Safetgiver
Sure, but you can’t shoot the bear for walking through your campground or climbing in your fishing boat. Had one climb in a beached fishing boat once, quite entertaining watching him dealing with the side to side motion.

after a bear entered campsites and even a beached boatNo, the campers entered the bear's territory.

Sounds like Van Riper State Park in the 60’s.
Spent many and evening while camping there in the summer driving down to the park dump and watching the bears after dark.

Can’t say for sure. I was a very small kid. I don’t think it was anything as fancy as a state park though. Just one of many small town dumps.
