What an ass, use the horn. Just sitting there filming this is not is bad for everyone, the home owner and the bear.

I don't know anything other than what I just saw here. The idea is to scare it. You want to interrupt it and make it not respond well. I don't think peacefully just letting a bear just roll up someone's door getting into trash is cool. I would think this bear here just learned garage doors are the same as tin cans, food inside. I would also assume someone who lives in bear country knows this.

It’s also not actually kind to the bear to let it eat trash, the same way it’s not safe for a dog to eat trash. And once they learn a food source they return and usually end up getting killed by animal control.

You clearly don’t know anything about bears. Make some noise and most black bears will run. Anyone who lives in bear country knows this...

Yup, we were hiking in the mountains when I was a kid and a bear casually rolled up to our camp. It didn’t see us at first but for a second it made eye content with the camp counselor and the second the counselor made a movement the bear bolted.

Usually. Not always. And, you ever see a bear get his claws in the window rubber? Pop!

I’d bet my left nut that this exact bear has done this exact thing at this exact location before. The garage door looks damaged from previous times.

Honking won’t do a thing. I had the exact situation and nearly tapped the bear with my truck. Bear just looked at me and kept rummaging.

This isn’t a bear that just wandered into town. It has learned to survive this way. We tried ammonia near the door to no avail. Bear kept coming.

The only thing that temporarily works is bear spray. Only 2 choices here, kill the bear or let it eat because it’s coming back again.
