Happy Halloween! Bears are still active so it is recommended that parents accompany trick-or-treaters in neighborhoods and communities with ongoing bear activity. This is especially important in areas where bears are routinely accessing uncontained garbage. This includes, but is not limited to, the Rattlesnake Drainage, Grant Creek, Lolo, Anaconda, Seeley Lake, Lincoln, Florence, Bonner and Clinton. Also, keep in mind that some bears have learned to feed on pumpkins. While it has been cooler and a bit snowy, bears will remain active through November. Do not put out bird feeders until December 1st.
This is not from this area but still a good reminder to bring those pumpkins in if you live in an area frequented by bears.

This time of year, bears go into hyperphagia, leading to increased activity levels as they search for calories to build up necessary fat reserves for the impending winter.
