Remove food that attracts bears

This time of year, natural food sources for bears are in short supply and they are easily enticed to eat whatever they can find. Now is a great time to be proactive and patrol your yard to remove any food sources that could attract bears. Move pet foods indoors, secure trash cans in a building, and remove birdfeeders or suspend them from a cable where a bear cannot reach them.
