WHAT TO DO IF YOU ENCOUNTER A BLACK BEAR

Flying Bear

...In Your Backyard: From a safe distance, make loud noises, shout, or bang pots and pans together to scare away the bear. When the bear leaves, remove potential attractants such as garbage, bird seed, or pet food. Ask neighbors to remove attractants. Check your yard for bears before letting out your pets.
