I grew up in an area that at one time had too many bears. It was dangerous to go out at any time of day or night. My Dad decided to take matters into hand and dispensed with them one at a time. There seemed to be a bear hanging on hooks at least once a month. The meat was used as dog meat and wasn’t wasted. We were bear free for many years. The bears seemed to know to keep their distance and the only time you would see one is when one would be walking under the power line towers up on the mountain side. In other words they learnt to stay on their side of the fence as we never saw them around the neighborhood. It’s amazing how they learn their safe places.
