Bears are not cool. We live in PA, about 75 miles from NYC.
Yesterday morning we found a bear had killed one of our sheep during the night. The sheep was inside a field fenced with 4’woven wire topped with two strands of electric fence - - and the fencer was working and the battery powered at the time.
We raise a very rare breed of heritage sheep, have for 25 years. On our road there are at least half a dozen little kids living in houses surrounded by thick woods and swamp.
There are also fragile, elderly folks here that would like to be able to walk from their house to their car without fear. Sooner or later, there is going to be a tragedy.
I;ve had neighbors run out on their porch to shoot grizz eating their dogs on chains, tearing up their fish racks, and into their freezers in outside sheds. Once you have a problem bear, you have to shoot him, he'll be back for more. I'd leave what's left of that sheep right where it's at and watch for bear at daybreak & dark; you'll get him.
