Bear Activity on the Rise; Don't Leave Out Birdfeeders or Pet FoodThere has been a recent spike in bear activity in the Ken-Caryl area. Bears are looking for food because there is a shortage of acorns, which are a main food staple. Bears may be active anytime, day or night, most often during morning and evening hours. Residents need to remove all attractants:
- Remove birdfeeders until winter when bears are not active.
- Place secured garbage cans outside for pickup in the morning only.
- Remove pet food and bird seed containers from outside.
- Burn food off barbeque grills and clean after each use.
- Clean garbage cans with ammonia to discourage bears and other wildlife.
- Don’t leave food, trash, coolers, air fresheners or anything that smells in your vehicle.
- Lock bear-accessible doors and windows in the house, garage, and car at night.
- Remove any ripened fruit that has fallen to the ground on your property.
Bears that get too comfortable around people can destroy property or even become a threat to human safety. Habituated bears must often be destroyed. Please don’t let bears die needlessly. Do your part to bear-proof your home and property, and help keep bears alive and wild.
