"Please remember, we're getting back into the season when bears are active," said Steve McClung, assistant area wildlife manager for CPW in Durango.
Wildlife officials are asking people to be bear aware to limit as many bear-human conflicts as possible. This includes securing your trash and taking down your bird feeders to avoid attracting bears.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife also urges residents to report bear problems to local wildlife offices as soon as they see them.
