Comment: We have been raising chickens,ducks,goats, guinea hens, etc for 25 years here on Lake Iliamna. When a bear, wolf,mink,ermine,fox, decides he has to help itself to our critters we kill it. It's called DLP, ai, defense of life and property. Over  the years we have lost probably 50 or more fowl, 2 milking goats,3 or 4 smokehouses full of salmon, and 3 high dollar hunting beagles.  If it's in season we tag it and if not we turn the hide into fish and game. Use a high powered rifle and shoot decisively. That's how it's done safely and legally.
