Scaring away animals

One of my nature and life loving characters currently has a bit of a dilemma with a wild bear threatening their settlement.

She does not want to see the animal dead, but it can't remain there attacking people.

I think it would be good if there was a chance to scare animals off.
It could be like a project with a random chance of success, possibly with future tools making it quicker. (like fire.)

This would also be a good way for poorly armed people to fend off animals.

What do you think?

Yeah, I had a char who thought the "bear men" just needed to be shown how to properly fit into society. It didn't work. :lol:

Just kill the damn bear.

And the BBQ afterwards will make your char forget she ever resented killing it.

edit: And how would you scrae off a wild bear? making faces?

Most animals run from loud noise..although it'd have to be quite a bit to frighten off a bear...and if it's a polar bear, you can pretty much forget it.

My father said that, when in the Yukon, he got some polar bear scarers... Quarter-sticks of dynamite.

Unless the polar bear scarers turn out to be polar-bear-piss-off ers

then you have a large angry bear after you...

Fire probably works...or a large group of people shouting and throwing things after it

If you have dynamite on you, why not blast the bear to oblivion instead of scaring it away? :twisted:

No need to search your pockets for a large group of people or a campfire.

for black bears it doesn't take much. shouting and clapping loudy is usually enough. but they're wimps i guess compared to their polar cousins....

DAmn...

I really, really want to have a polar bear skin on the floor here in front of the fire. One of those with the head still attached to it. But where to get one of those? i heard they are sold in Greenland, but that's not a place I usually go to.

Tried to turn one of my dead hamsters but they're too smaal. I've collected enough dead hamster skins to make half a glove of. I think i'll just wait untill our cat dies.

And i dont think scaring animals away would be a good idea anyway. Whats wrong with killing them? cmon, it's a game...
