Excuse my ignorance, but I have a question that I feel the forum could answer. We have a large Black bear that is wandering our yard at night. I know i can't shoot to kill, but like the police do. Can I legally shoot him with a rubber bullet to scare him off?

Never would have asked, if you have rubber buckshot you should have just did it. I know everyone is going to stuff but when you live in bear country sometimes you have to protect yourself . I hear shots all the time and I would bet some are for this reason, good luck hopefully he gets the message and leaves the area
