I have enough with cats and coons in my trash. Really don't need a black bear in it too. Yes I know there native to indiana but haven't been around for a good bit. I don't see anything positive from them coming back.Why wouldn’t they?
The black bear population isn’t near enough to have that sort of effect. This is only 1 bear, it would take a while before we’re discussing them being a pest. Also, I do agree with your comment, when it gets to that population time to open a hunting season and get numbers down, but they have as much right to the land as we do... it isn’t our place to interfere with their travels and home as long as it doesn’t invade my home.I have enough with cats and coons in my trash.

But there in lay the real issues. They will come around as they know no limits/boundary's.The black bear population isn’t near enough to have that sort of effect.

Yep like calves, goats, and hogs. Then they get shot.But there in lay the real issues. They will come around as they know no limits/boundary's.
I am all for them having free range in the land but we are running out of free range lands. They will seek out the easy food sources.
And then they become a rug. Personally I've always thought a bear skin rug would rather be a cool addition to my home decor.But there in lay the real issues. They will come around as they know no limits/boundary's.

What are the normal precautions?Going to be a LONG time before bears become any sort of actual issue in Indiana. Plenty of other states are thick with them, and they are rarely problems.
A co-worker sees bear on her property (Colorado) pretty much every week. She keeps her trash up, and all of the normal precautions (that we should all do anyway), and has never had an issue.
Personally, I like the idea of nature returning to the land.
Don't leave food, garbage, trash out. Don't leave birdfeeders out, or at least try to critter-proof them. Clean your BBQ grill. Critter-proof your garden. Don't leave small pets out unattended. Don't leave small children out unattended.What are the normal precautions?

In areas where black bears and humans interface semi regularly, it takes 1 bear to be a major pain - knocking over trash cans - trying to get anywhere that they smell food - tearing up tents if near camping. I learned to hate black bears entirely at a remote campsite that was canoe access only. I just verified that it is not legal to shoot them as a pest in Indiana, otherwise , 270 Win.This is only 1 bear, it would take a while before we’re discussing them being a pest.
You can get kicked off of Facebook for 7 days for saying that. I know this.I REALLY want to go bear hunting
Give it a few more years. Shouldn't take long, particularly with a wide open border.We just need to build more Mcmansions in every available space, eventually we’ll crowd everything else out and they’ll move somewhere else.
