Bears Behaving Badly In Bonner County

We are having a record year for nuisance bear calls in Bonner County. Food sources were limited this spring and the bears are looking for anything they can find as hunger sets in. Common attractants include, garbage, bird feeders, and pet food. If they don’t find anything to eat at your house, they will move on. We can only hope this summer brings a bumper huckleberry crop to make the bears happy!!!!

Question: Have you ever come close to a bear in the wild?
