The solution to this is to allow people to shoot bears which are destroying their property.
This was not even controversial until the 1960s.
Ideally, any bear which approaches on their property, within 100 feet of a dwelling, would be fair game.
Bears would very quickly learn to avoid human dwellings.
Bears are bad neighbors.
We have a fir tree that kept losing branches when it was not windy out. This is an unusual type of fir tree that someone planted in the 1970s; It is much bushier than the type planted by lumber companies. I noticed a large pile of bear scat at the base. For who knows what reason a bear or bears kept climbing up it and breaking branches off. I never saw it/them and they went away on their own.
I put a game camera up to see if I could see the bear/s. Maybe the LED lights that come on at night made them suspicious. Or maybe they could tell that I was up and down the tree. Eventually, I saw some racoons on the SD card, but no bears.
My wife spends lots of money feeding the birds. We get boxes with mealy worms in them. Delivered by FedEx. In addition, she has me pick up 50# bags of sunflower seeds at Tractor Supply.
I started hunting again after a ten plus year hiatus. I had to practice. Since then I have bought two additional rifles. A 30.06 and a muzzle loader. I was previously using a Winchester 30-30. Prior to that at my previous house a 16 gauge shot gun.
I put up a deer stand at the back of my property. It got crushed by a falling tree. I put up another deer stand.
I have bought bags of corn and several deer blocks. I have yet to kill a deer. Mostly out of choice. I could have shot countless does and a couple spike bucks.
I did shoot a six point buck with the 30-30 last November. A solid broad side kill shot from only 100 feet away. He did a front flip, flailed around and then got up and staggered away out of site into some brush. I waited in my stand for about a half hour. Got down and walked over to where I though he would be lying dead. However, I NEVER found him. I looked for three hours with the help of my wife. I even thought about bringing in a tracker with dogs.
There are so many deer here in southern NH that they have now extended the days you can take a doe from two to four days. They are also allowing you to purchase an extra tag for an additional fee.
I went to my in laws on Saturday night for dinner. When we arrived my mother in law told us to be quiet. That there were two small deer in their back yard. She feeds them. They live on a small lot in a suburban neighborhood. This seems to be very common now. People feed deer year round. Which means they also attract bears, coyotes, fishers, raccoons, etc. In addition, having a back yard chicken coop has become the fun thing so many new people love to do when they buy their first house in the suburbs/country. My daughter and son in law did it. Raved about the fresh eggs. First the raccoon tried to get in. Then the coyote. Then the bobcat. Finally the bear absolutely demolished their chicken coop and killed the last two chickens.
