Personally I think you should get bear naked, then offer him a bear claw pastry then put him in a bear hug.

My grandpa said he had a bear on his roof one time. He called the local game warden who showed up with a ladder, a pit bull, a rope and a gun. He Laid the rope down and put the ladder against the side of the house. He then positioned the pit bull below the bear and handed the gun to my grandfather.

My grandfather asked, "What's going on here?"

The game warden said, "I'm gonna climb up on the roof and wrestle that bear. I'll get him close to the edge and throw him to the dog. That dog is trained to grab him by his testicles and clamp down so hard it totally immobilizes the bear. I then climb down the ladder, tie the bear up and throw him in the pickup and relocate him."

My Grandfather asked, "Well what's the gun for?

The Game warden said, "If the bear throws me off the roof, shoot the dog."

Although it appears to be a bear...I think it's actually George Hawley trying to dive down and get his Baitsmith unhung off a rockpile.
