Keep Bears Out of Your YardHow to keep bears out of your yard… because garbage kills bears! Be bear aware in spring and early summer Not all things that a bear smells will be food, but all things that smell may attract the attention of a foraging bear. When you are evaluating your home, yard, or camp for bear foods, you must think in terms of what might attract them to you - not necessarily what they can eat. Spoiled bears quickly become dangerous bears It all starts innocently; a bear foraging in search of food comes across an unfamiliar odor, one it as not smelled before and it decides to investigate. If it succeeds in getting an easy meal from some improperly stored garbage or food, it is almost certain to return or seek this same food source elsewhere. Soon it is accustomed to this pattern, and doesn't hesitate to break open a shed door to seek food. Barking dogs and shouting people are ignored. Conservation Officers must hunt this bear because it now associates people with food and has become a spoiled and dangerous bear. Don't be responsible for this scenario happening in your neighbourhood! Avoid these bear attractants
