And that someone would be me.  :-D

I live in Virginia, where bear season opened just the other day.  A
couple of years ago, the Blacksburg Police Dept had to chase a wayward
black bear from an in-town residential neighborhood.

We also have a very large problem with deer here.  They are all over
town, including my back yard in the mornings.  Just last week a buck
tore up a Kroger's Grocery Store that he had somehow gotten into.  They
are so prevalent, and such a nuisance, that this year the Town of
Blacksburg allowed archery hunting WITHIN the city limits.
