Further information from bear sighting at Bill Canada's home
LTE:
The police gave alot information that
Bill would like to pass along:
The bear has been in this area and will remain in this area and
keep hunting for food until he is fattened up and ready for hibernation Mid
December.
1.
Don't leave Garbage out.
2.
When you go outside or for a walk-- do not take coffee with you - the bear
can smell the coffee, sugar or honey added and can approach you just with that.
3.
Pie pans clanging together should scare bear off, however, a bear was already
in the garbage at the home behind Barrett Field and the pots and pans did
NOTHING-- Police said that the bear will not pay attention and will not stop if
he has found food to eat.
4.
Do not leave food in your car or cook with windows open - the smell will
attract the bear.
