bear in the water!!

[donnamatrix]

We have bears in the yard, walking up the driveway, on the front porch-whatever, we live in the woods. The bears are pretty cool. One thing we have on the porch is the "horn in a can" -an airhorn - we keep one on the boat in case our electricity kills our boat horn and the whistle isn't loud enough. But, we've had a bear investigate our grill and try to open it, so when cooking outside, the airhorn is nearby to spook them away. It makes an ear-splitting noise and the bear goes off in the other direction. I think if you are making noise on the dock, or have music playing, or otherwise making human-type noises, the bear won't come to investigate.
