He's a big fella. Someone must have a bird feeder or nice smelly trash can nearby.

Could be, I just remembered there is a creek in my backyard, possibly swinging by for a drink

Current DEEP suggestion is loud noises and stuff to scare him away, rather than encourage him to hang out.

I yell at him and for the most part he takes off into the woods

You need to scare the bear away. It's important that bears fear humans. Make as much noise as possible, aggressive movement, do whatever it takes to instill fear. This for your benefit and also the bear's.

I have an air horn that works really well, the neighbor's don't like it much but I don't give a shit, for me its what's best for the bear. He really is beautiful

Ya good for you! Neighbor's should want you scaring bear away, they are insane to object
