Very nice bear. Not keeping the dead trees and brush down is what causes wild fires that burn thousands of acres and people's homes. Not sure all the trees need to be cut down but, they do need to be thinned out.

Thing is...I don't live in the county...near the city. Its also a neighborhood and our contractor saw the bear running across the st. when he was driving around the neighborhood looking for our house. We live in the north east so not a lot of wild fires here. We do get lots and lots of rain..this year at least ; )

Be very careful. I worked at a hospital in Idaho Falls and they brought in a young girl who was attacked taking a hike in Yellowstone. She had hundreds of stitches in her head but she survived. What a shame the city is taking down the forest, where are the animals going to go ?

When I lived in CO, I lived about three blocks from downtown and in the summer and fall, bear were nightly visitors in my yard. We could not leave bird seed, barbeques or garbage cans out. If we did and the bears came and you called Wildlife officer, you got a big fine, your fault. Still they came as they had discovered an easy life down in the city and they were reluctant to give that easy life up. One fall, a block from an elementary school, a she-bear decided to hibernate under a woman's porch so she would be near easy pickings when spring came. They did much damage in town.
