Large groups of bears are creating a nuisance for residents in Bethlehem, and the problem has gotten so bad the town is considering an ordinance.
Officials said bears are rummaging through trash bins, eating and attacking farm animals and in some cases coming dangerously close to family pets.
"I've been here for 15 years and never saw them until this year," said resident Bob Kimmerle.
Kimmerle said he had to fire a gun in the air to scare a bear away after it ate two roosters near his fence.
"He put his arm through and pulled them through,"

NHDF&G definitely doesn’t have a long enough bear season, lengthen it and get someone to start a bear sausage business, the little Yogi’s and BooBoo’s would be a big hit.

They have to send to Ontario and get Freeper Kanawa to visit Bethlehem, NH. He knows how to get rid of bears, you just jump on their backs , and stab them to death with a hunting knife, which Kanawa did a couple of years ago.

I know a number of ways to deal with the bears, and not one of them involves an ordinance.

Hold on now, if you drop an “I” it does refer to weapons, as in shoot and stew the bears.

Put cops in cruisers armed with G-3 or M1-A Socoms. A Federal 168 gr 308 round would end their mischief soon enough.
Or even a couple of Remington 870s loaded with brenneke slugs on each shifts. Put surefire light forends on the scatterguns and get there in time to end the bears existence. It wouldn’t take much effort.

You can have the jerky. I want the skin. My friend had a bear skin coat that was her grandmother’s. It weighed a ton, but was beautiful and warm.
