That sign is priceless... I'm still laughing at it.

Seriously thou, my sister and her family live in Fairbanks, AK. They are very active in 4H, and raise all sorts of animals. They had 2 young Grizzlies get into their goat pen. Needless to say they lost several goats.
The local authorities had to track down and destroy the bears because they told my sister that the bears would keep coming back until the all the goats and other animals were gone.

Black Bear and Grizzlies are not alike. We have Black Bear here in the yard on a fairly regular basis.. I've posted some of the pics. They run off as soon as they see us.

The State has this website about NH Black Bears. Good reading and lots of links to even more information.
