Nuisance Bear Problem Solved

[GilpinGuy]

After 21 years of living up here in the high country, I had a bear finally bust through my trash defense. Xi/She/M/O/U/S/E/He tore open my bear box, which has obviously been repaired a few times from other brazen attacks, but never fully breached before. I must take action...now, like knee jerk reaction now.



I feel deeply bad for these bears, as they may have had a bad childhood, been subjected to parental abuse, voluntary drug use, single family situations, work for minimum wage as a teenager, need to buy clothes for school, want stuff they can't afford themselves, or just want somebody else's trash that isn't theirs, etc. So I don't want to any harm to come to these innocent creatures of course.

After a good, deep, feel-good contemplation of progressive thought, I found the perfect solution to this:



I ordered several of these plastic signs that I will post all over my property so bears know that they aren't allowed here.

Problem solved! Now I can just leave bags of trash sitting on my deck and not have to worry! I'm so dumb to not have thought of this sooner. I can't wait to see the bears look at the sign, shake their head in frustration, and walk away in the spring.
