-get a magnet and tune it so it only attracts bear hair (get a scientist for this step)

-launch the magnet into orbit (get a scientist again, maybe even a different one)

-turn on the magnet, sucking all the bears up through the atmosphere (this will kill most of them)

-turn off the magnet, dropping the bears back down to earth (this should kill the rest)

holy poo poo thats frikken awesome but i dont think i could afford it plus that sounds like a lot of math and science

my resources:
1. bulldozer
2. 6 pack of miller lite (16oz cans)
3. some camping stuff

need:
bear protection suit

way to get 50-100 bears into a "killzone"

i think his plan could work, you just need to find some scientists who will work for a 6 pack, or use the bulldozer to get more 6 packs and pay more scientists

you already have a place for them to sleep it off (camping supplies)

Ugh, look at all these loving plebs with their stupid advice, ugh

The answer is get a bear a suit and find some female bear pheromones and pretend to be in heat (you have to sell it though, really slut it up in that bear suit). some risk involved, but definitely worth it as far as luring 50-100 bears. HTH

have you tried cragislist? you can find like anything on there, just put out an ad for a vaguely unethical scientist

actually that gives me a better idea, why don't you make a craigslist post telling every bear in the area to come to a particular clearing where there will be honey and salmon and picnic baskets? if cartoons taught me anything (and they did, they even taught me how to tie my shoes) then bears love picnic baskets and honey. i doubt bears could resist a no-cover party like that, and im sure everybody uses craigslist, even bears

hmm maybe? thats a lot of frikken bears though. im not sure how familiar you are with the species but they are fairly solitary and male bears have territories that can be like 10-50 square miles. so lets say i get one to follow me every 10 miles (best case scenario) i would have to cover over 1000 square miles in a heavy bear suit in mountainous forested terrain and end up in the kill zone with all of them folloqwing me (not losing any along the way)

so as you can see that is probabaly not very realistic, thanks though

Ugh, I just said there was some risk involved, and clearly a lot of legwork. At least try it before dismissing the idea, I might try it myself just to prove it'll work.

i think i will built some sort of maypole like device in the kill zone but instead of ribbons it will be heavy guage chain with large barbed hooks all over it and it will be mechanized with a 500hp vertical shaft electric motor to spin like a big weedwhacker. i will push the bears into this somehow if i can get them all there

added to needs list:
500hp vertical shaft motor

bears can be pretty violent, can we convince them to start a bear war like 300 bears vs 300 bears and then just pick up the dead bears afterwards?

maybe the maypole/chainflogger idea could work if it could operate at an undetectable decibel level. .... i could make the center pole about 50 yards high with a spiked top on it, and skewer a bunch of deer, elk, moose, whatever is walking around 50 yards high on it like a big bambi shishkabob... the bears would come in to try and get a corpse, and shhhzzzzttt! bye bye bear. as the lower corpses rotted the next ones would slide into place...

this would be slower and require some thinking about how to dampen the motor, but it could buried fairly deep in the ground. hmmm

this is theoretical. obv i dont have a 500hp vertical shaft electric motor, but i could probably get some heavy guage chain and large barbed hooks. just trying to think outside the box because no one is helping me!

ok does it just have to be YOU doing the killing because if not I have another idea that might actually be cheaper

so what you do is find a bunch of ppl that live close to every zoo in the US and pick a certain day and everyone goes to the zoo and shoots the bears at the same coordinated time. Can coordinate this p easily with cell phones and since its the US ppl already have their own weapons. That's 50 bears easy I think. Most zoos probably have 8 (2 black, brown, grizz, polar) at least.

there's almost no cost to this except time spent on recruitment which shouldnt be that hard

Dam a stream that salmon swim up to spawn that's popular with bears. Dam it enough to build up a nice reservoir but not enough to stop the salmon swimming up it. At the opportune moment burst the dam then smile quietly to yourself as the cleansing waters break upon your foes - washing them back into the oceans from whence they came.

this should happen regardless of which plan is selected, and no, obviously it doesnt have to be just me, i just need them all dead, and fast.
