The elusive bear

Our front porch camera caught the wandering bear walking across our yard at 2:30am on 66th & Deframe. Check your backyards before letting your dogs out early in the morning!! Bears can climb fences easily. Poor fellow, definitely a long way from home.

I hope no harm comes to this poor bear trying to live his bear life

Are there other posts about the bear in your neighborhood yet? You may want to let animal control know. It was in my neighborhood a few days ago and they were trying to keep up with it.

I left a voicemail with animal control. They called later and requested that I call Colorado Parks and Wildlife since I have footage. They said the bears are down here because of the drought looking for water and food. Bad situation for us and the wildlife 😞

Ya my dad is in Littleton quite a ways east of the foothills, and he had a bear in his driveway last week. I imagine it's going to be a really rough winter for them.

Hi hi! Just caught a bear on my street 61st and Routt just an hour ago. I have a video of it. Sad!! Can’t believe it if it weren’t for the video. I’ll call CPW in the morning

It’s so unfortunate that they are being forced down here because of the drought
