Well - Dad put his Korean War vintage army training to work and shot him in the asz with the 12 ga rubber slug. But the evening before last he came back as my nephews and friends were playing on the front lawn. My sister got off a shot with her 20 ga - but he was well into the woods. Yesterday the DEC set a trap (a giant barrel hav-a-heart contraption) baited with "L'il Debbie" cakes and annisette liquor. This morning the bear is sitting on the front porch!!
