You are probably right, but I simply couldn't resist finding out just how bad the situation was. I thought I would be doing the right thing by scaring it back into the woods, but that's not what happened, and I admit, I may have made the situation worse. But, anyways, I reported it, and I'm sure the bear has been relocated by now. Either that or, sadly, it may have been shot. In any case, thanks for your critique.
