My friend doesn’t have feeders out there anymore. He did have a brand new ground blind out there with NO food in it that the bear decided to destroy last night.
He’s just at his wits end and extremely frustrated

I remember a time where you were going to hunt bear over bait.
Did you ever go on that hunt?

I was up in Idaho in May and we spot & stalk hunted only. Spotted but did not kill.
ETA: I am not against hunting over bait, but if bears are a problem destroying feeders, the obvious solution is to remove the bear's favorite food source

Kill him during season. Bear season is off and on here in Georgia till the end of December. Bear has alot of meat too.

You know the answer to your question and the answer includes "firstly, don't post about it on one of the largest discussion boards in North America "
This is a troll.

Your hypothetical friend should simply approach the bear and reason with him. I suggest carrying a nice size raw beef roast which he has previously rubbed all over his body and then teasing the bear with it.

Bears are awesome. Leave them alone.

Spray him in the face with bear spray while yelling "go away bear".
Post signs saying "bear free zone".

Arizona: 3,000
California: 25,000 to 35,000
Colorado: 16,000
Connecticut: 800 to 1,000
Delaware: 0
Florida: 4,000
Georgia: 5,000
Hawaii: 0
Idaho: 20,000 to 30,000
Illinois: 0
Indiana: 0
Iowa: 0
Kansas: 0
Kentucky: 1,000
Louisiana: 700 to 1,000
Louisiana has 700 to 1,000 black bears. The state’s black bears are members of an endemic subspecies, the Louisiana black bear (Ursus americanus luteolus). The Louisiana black bear is the state’s national mammal and a conservation success story.
Maine: 35,000
Maryland: 2,000
Massachusetts: 4,500
Michigan: 15,000 to 19,000
Minnesota: 12,000 to 15,000
Mississippi: Unknown
Mississippi once had thousands of black bears and Louisiana black bears. Today, both bear species have been extirpated because of habitat loss and hunting. State biologists estimate there are only about 40 bears at most in the state. Habitat restoration is taking place, however, and conservationists are hopeful that black bears and Louisiana black bears will both return.
Missouri: 1,000
Montana: 15,000
Nebraska: 0
Nevada: 500
New Hampshire: 4,800 to 5,000
New Jersey: 3,000
New Mexico: 5,000 to 6,000
New York: 6,000 to 8,000
North Carolina: 20,000
North Dakota: 0
Oklahoma: 2,500

Pennsylvania: 16,000
Rhode Island: Unknown
South Carolina: 1,100
South Dakota: 0
Tennessee: 5,500 to 6,000
Texas: Unknown
The black bear and Louisiana black bear were native to Texas, but both species were wiped out. Biologists believe there might be 30 to 40 resident breeding bears. Conservation efforts have focused on reintroducing black bears to Texas. They are considered a protected species in the state, and it is illegal to hunt or trap them.
Utah: 4,000
Vermont: 4,500 to 6,000
Virginia: 18,000 to 20,000
Washington: 25,000 to 30,000
West Virginia: 12,000 to 14,000
Wisconsin: 24,000
Wyoming: Unknown
Wyoming only began counting black bears in 2019, although the state has always kept track of its grizzly population. Wildlife officials say the black bear population is robust and stable, but exact numbers are not available. About 500 black bears live in Yellowstone Park, which is primarily in Wyoming."
