Idaho boy kills bear on front porch

On : 2009 Nov 16

An 11-year-old Idaho boy shot a black bear on his family's front porch after he said it wouldn't leave.

The boy was home alone with two younger sisters when the bear showed up. He says he couldn't shoo the animal away, so he grabbed a gun and shot the bear dead.

A conservation officer with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, says the boy and his family probably won't be in any trouble, because the black bear had been a problem and they may have had to put it down anyway.

The bear had been hanging around a transfer station and getting into garbage cans and bird feeders. The agency had received multiple complaints and they had set up a trap earlier in the week.

The agency has issued the family a permit to keep the bear's carcass.
