yea!!!!

I don't know how I can help but I'm in if needed. Someone, near the beginning of this thread I believe, created an interactive map logging the bears' travels. If one person with the knowledge, and...

I suppose, for any number of reasons, the interest in the bear(s) has waned as of late-primarily due to the lack of exposure? -but my neighbor told me of 2 very recent sightings. It was difficult...

The mandatory bear proof containers have been very effective in the Tahoe Basin. Unfortunately there just aren't enough of them.

I don't read all of the posts in their entirety, which is a...

Thank you Gypsy. An unexpected yet very pleasing response

I thought that the final sentence in my post would be easily understood. Obviously I was mistaken

All of your thoughts-thoughts, not solutions- are valid common sense suggestions mentioned by...

Am I being "blamed" for not having a solution? Interesting. No one has, including you. Why? There isn't one. Nothing of any viability anyway, or that can be accomplished within a reasonable...

Point taken. In my frustration my phrasing was very poorly done as I meant the DFG in its entirety and not simply those of a lower echelon. That said, the fact remains it need not officially be...

I didn't realize that a prerequisite for posting was to be helpful, or to offer realistic solutions. Simply expressing one's feelings is part of becoming involved in a forum and, specifically in a...

I'm sorry Peggy but they may be decent people but their chosen profession involves, to a personal extent, protecting wildlife. When they can't even lobby effectively enough to harness the resources...

The first words of truth from F&G-I guess Mr. Jones deserves kudos for being honest. I don't know that we have any recourse now, other than to place our hopes in the hands of The Big Guy or in whom...

It's up to us of course, but our history of coexisting with other species is-as you all know-sickening. So very sadly it's a pipe dream to believe that all non-human animals , with the possible...

That does make sense. Bears ordinarily have 1-3 cubs but normally not all survive due to male bears killing them in order to promote estrous in the female, predation, hunting, etc.. I don't believe...

I'll have to be convinced by more than the words of the DFG, not always known for their veracity, as far as the sedation and relocation of problematic (for whatever perceived reason) bears is...

Why?

Thanks for your input. I only see my neighbor when he's on a walk with his wife so I can't comfortably gather additional information until I next see him.

When he called out my name, from the...

I have some simply horrible news. A neighbor, with whom I have not spoken regarding our bear, just informed me that a bear is in our vicinity and killed two small goats either last night or this...

Thank you Elizabeth. I deleted it as my insecurities rose their collective ugly heads and, as my first post, I felt that my message may have been a bit overbearing (unintentional pun). In...
