I have K-9 dogs Narcotic,Explosion Detection ,and Search and Rescue dogs.

We trained our search and rescue dogs to be afraid of Rattlers, our drug dogs not to grab drugs, our bomb dogs not to move ect....

You can do some of the same things with bear....There are bear scare dogs you can hire unfortunately they would scare your deer, so you need to get creative... I have no idea what you are facing there...Can you hit the side it is coming in from with pepper spray...(not on a windy day or you and your deer will be crying) Can you run electric?

Bear are smart if you can get it to associate your fence with bad things it won't come back ,that being said you have a lot of fence and I don't not if 20 of your buddies are nice/stupid enough to sit out and (scare it) away or what...There has to be ways to do it.

Best of luck
 
Hang some balloons filled partially with amonia around pen coat with honey. When they pop they will get breath full of amonia. Bears never forget they won't come back. This works for bears getting into garbage really well. PS make sure after putting amonia in balloon use a pump to blow it up. Hope this does you some good (safe and legal)
 
Painted Meadows thank you for your ideas we are sitting around the table talking about this black bear and added some great ideas. In addition to adding 3 foot rap fence on bottom we could run your idea of hot hot wire on top and 5 foot off the ground add aluminum pie pans with peanut butter tied to the HOT/HOT wire. Would this keep bears away? PS this post comes from Isaac's Father Scott

I am going to be running surveillance cameras in some of my pens for Mothers day

Good luck with your Bear venture...
 
Had a bear at the pens last night. It was just a small one, but there is obvisouly a mother close by. All deer are ok, but they are all in different pens. I will keep everyone updated.
