Dude, believe me I know all about living with bears. They wander through here on a regular basis. My trash cans and bird feeders know all about them also.Dude, bears are chill. You build in their back yard, now you have to deal with it.
This bear is a good example, all it wanted was some burgers, beer and pie.
If a bear broke in, I would give it edibles, give it a beer and see if it wants to play Mario Kart.
I had one come up on my deck after my wife plopped a fresh pizza out of the oven onto the table, bear wanted a piece (well probably the whole thing) and there was only a sliding screen door between me and him. Once I closed the sliding glass door and jumped up and down yelling he left.
Then there was the time one decided he wanted to come in through my kitchen window at 2am. Woke up and scared him away but he did a lot of damage. Ripped a 2x6 cedar corner board off of my house, some siding and the window trim, and there was glass everywhere.
You are right, they were here before me when I built my house 35 years ago. But I am not letting them in for a beer and edible.
