A Sterling man killed a 9-foot brown bear with a pistol after the bear attempted to break into his home multiple times in the early morning of July 7.
... After going back to bed, Landess received an early morning wake-up call from the bear. At about 6 a.m. he heard more banging in front of the house as the bear attempted to get inside.
“I couldn’t believe that it came back,” he said.
Landess grabbed his .45 pistol, stepped out onto his upper deck, took aim and fired seven rounds toward the bear’s vitals. He said the bear “got crazy” and ran about 50 feet before it collapsed and died.

Even the bears want a handout now!
... received the proper response, Max. :)
Rev. Paul,
We had bears coming up to our camp in Upper Michigan banging on the doors and walls. Especially when they smelt food cooking on the stove. So many of them are hungry, and can't find food, or won't because they don't want to work for it.
I guess this guy has a freezer to fill?
Sandy, I suspect Mr. Landress will be eating quite well for awhile.
Yeah a brown bear trying to come in would definitely get your attention!
That's an understatement, PH.
