GAME COMMISSION OFFERS ADVICE TO AVOID ATTRACTING BEARS
With spring well underway across the state, many Pennsylvanians are spending more time outdoors and seeing more wildlife - and signs of wildlife - in their yards and other places they frequent. Among the wildlife becoming more visible are Pennsylvania's roughly 15,000 black bears, all of which are looking for food.
PUBLIC SUPPORTS GAME COMMISSION'S MANAGEMENT OF BEARS
In a recent survey of Pennsylvanians, 63 percent of respondents believe the Pennsylvania Game Commission is doing a good to excellent job managing black bears. The survey also stated that only five percent of residents have had a problem with a bear in the last two years.
