You can move a bear a couple of hundred miles away and if it is really smart and stubborn it will come back to the same spot within a few days. It is quite astonishing. I used to have to help with the bear trap in the campground where I worked in the North Cascades. Usually getting them a couple of drainages away from where they area problem is sufficient, but every now and then you would hear about one that was taken half-way down the state and the darned thing would come back in a week or two. Or less.
