A black Bear cub walked through our front yard, last evening

I'm freaked out over this.

There was a black bear sighting, last year, on our road, and it was the talk of the town.

Well, now there is, apparently, a precious black bear cub walking around...

We took down all of our bird feeders, but I don't know what else to do..

Is there anything we can do to make our yard (about 1/2 acre or so) less attractive to bears?

Should we buy a gun? Neither I nor my dh have ever held a gun in our lives, but there comes a time for the need to protect one's family. I already told dd that we were not going out in the yard to play today, all I know is if there's a cub around, then the mama isn't far away.

The cub was actually adorable. It laid on its back and moved side to side like it was scratching its back. A deer was in the yard across the street and took one look at the bear and took off. All I saw was a white tail hopping up and down away from view. lol

It seems like wildlife is becoming more and more comfortable around here.
