It’s 
time once again to become more “Bear Aware” as hibernation is coming to an end.
According to Bud Stewart, Public Information Specialist with the Wyoming Game & Fis
h Department, bears often visit area towns this time of year looking for food…

He also warns area residents not to run from a bear if you come into contact with one.
Instead back away and remain calm and quiet as you retreat from the area of contact.
