At 4:00pm / dusk the misses is about to get in the car I told her to hurry up the bear is coming at us in the driveway. A few good shouts from me and he went past us. I'd like to train him. He's so docile.

Set up the video and leave the car door open and a twinkie on the seat , then decide if he is docile.
OBTW....you can submit the video here and send it to AFV. You will win some $$ to pay for the redo on the car. Remember....we love bear videos. Be safe out there.

Think how docile he'll be at 500 pounds and it's mating season.

I would talk to the game warden to get the cub trapped and taken somewhere else a long ways away. that is nothing but trouble

Cute, curious, comical but CERTAINLY nothing to fool around with. He needs to be removed and placed somewhere safe and far away.

I am not sure of your definition of "train" but I am willing to contribute towards a unicycle.

This Bears Repeating
I'm going to repeat what I said in another thread the OP posted about this bear cub. Maybe it'll sink in one of these days. Interested members can see that thread by clicking here.
This is what I said on October 8:
You're doing one of the things every state and federal wildlife agency says not to do. It doesn't matter whether you're doing it on purpose or not. You're making food easily available to a wild bear in an area where wild bears have no business being...your home and property. You're helping the bear to lose its fear of humans, and associate humans with easily obtainable food. Keep it up and you'll turn the bear into what's known as a "nuisance bear" that'll either have to be removed to another area or killed to prevent further predation or to stop the bear from being a danger to humans.
People think it's funny watching little home videos of bears in kitchens or bears inside cars, destroying everything they can get their paws on. It's "cute" to see black bears sleeping in hammocks or swimming in someone's pool or sitting in patio furniture. It's funny until it happens to them.
Little Cubby won't be "cute" forever. That bear is going to grow up into a 200-300 pound wild animal. Then what do you think's gonna happen? I'll say it again...you're creating a potentially dangerous situation...for humans and for the bear. You need to stop that bear from coming around.
And yeah, it really does give me a headache when I think about something like this.

Start by taking a selfie with him and posting it here. We love pictures of animals and our members. 
I put up with his dad at 400lbs. Haven't seen him since he was hooting for a mate. I have a smaller female, sow who comes by every so often. I'm thinking it's cubbys sister.
Seems to me once there big enough to mate they move on.
No birdfeeders, no cracked corn or berry blocks go out till there in hibernation.
