Bears Causing Trouble
Well, the drought, has finally caused the bears to look outside the mountains for food and water. My cousin, who lives down the road from us, has some very large chicken houses and they raise chickens for Tyson. The last three nights they have had a mama bear and two cubs breaking into the chicken houses and killing chickens; they would kill about 40 chickens and eat only the gizzard out of each one.
The game wardens came out and set a trap for them, they caught the two cubs the first night and the mama bear on the third night. They are worried that this bear may have to be put down, since it has discovered that chicken houses mean an easy meal; just about anywhere they decide to relocate this bear, it will eventually find a a chicken house; so it will go on a watch list. They said, the mama bear weighs in at almost 300 lbs, which is big for a female with cubs.
The bears are starting to show up in town, digging in peoples garbage now too, so when you step outside at night, you need a good flash light and to make some noise, so as not to walk up on one and cause a scene.

When I grew up, when a critter broke into the chicken coop, you went out and shot it... If it was big like a bear, your family ate better for a while... If it was a varmint, the corn grew better where you "planted" him...
My suggestion, eat momma relocate the cubs...

While I don't disagree with you on this, the state of Arkansas has a bear hunting season, but they get real testy about shooting one out of season for some reason.

That's when hunting them... Its surely different for different states. but even here in the LIBERAL east.. there are provisions to deal with these things.
This is a nuisance animal causing harm to property and quite possibly people. You have plenty of proof its causing you and your family $$.. shoot first ask questions later...
Besides, back in the day, no one would ever even know it happened unless they where there to see it.
If you haven't had it, bear makes a wonderful stew! The last one I got went 100% into stews I served at work!! I brought one in for the guys in the shop and everyone liked it so much the news spread until I was getting many requests for more!! LOL
I know times are different now, Good luck with the situation...
