I've slept in my vineyard for the past week.
6 of the 7 nights I've seen one of 3 different bears.
Last night, my dog woke me up, chasing off a bear who was 20 yards away before I could get a shot.

Have you considered guardian livestock dogs? Probably 3-4 to work together as a pack. Bears are not likely to come around when a pack of dogs are guarding
