Fellow DWG residents, some of you may have noticed increased bear sightings this year in town. Because of the multiple sightings and their location I decided to call the game commission to see if trapping and relocation is needed. While the commission decides, they did give me some suggestions that may help to keep them out of town.
1. Removing food sources from your yard. Bring in bird feeders at night and keep garbage cans closed tight or put away.
2. Call the game commission if you have a sighting so they can keep track and decide if they need to relocate. 833-742-9453.
Please be safe and keep a look out when in your yard. They will usually avoid you unless provoked or if a mother has cubs.
