Black Bears

One such animal was spotted recently in a place it is not commonly seen and it has put an Idaho town on notice.

You wouldn’t want to surprise those burglars!

I don't consider myself a bear expert and wouldn't advise that you take any tips from me on how to survive a potential bear encounter. However, I don't think what I've found is the right way to do it. It's video shared by a hunter who had a mama bear and cub investigate his tree stand with him still in it.

What does a bear have to do to get good service these days? That seems to be what a mama bear and cubs were wondering as they took over a picnic table and appeared to be waiting on a waitress.

Black bears have come out a little earlier than usual in the Wood River Valley area and have found some easy meals that have wildlife managers concerned. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game said bears have already gotten into several trash bins and raided bird feeders in areas south of Ketchum.
