A neighbour about .5km away to the East of my property has had  
bears visit her house/property in recent weeks.  She keeps  
chickens. The bear[s] broke through the chicken shed, killed  
most of them, and ransacked the chicken feed.  They even  
attempted to rip off the rear fender/bumper of her car - she  
still still had a few extra bags of chicken feed in the trunk.   
The bear[s] also attempted to scratch apart the front door of  
her house a couple days ago.

It's bear hunting season right now (may1 - june15) ..and  
something is helping to kill it. They bated the area with honey  
and molasses containers.  A friend is planning to stay by with  
a gun.

Bear citings have also been made less than 1km away to the West  
of my property. I have a neighbor to my West about 300m away  
that has some chickens too.  So.. my property is probably used  
as a convenient path.
