The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has received reports of multiple bear conflicts in recent weeks. Christina Schmidt, a public information specialist, appeared on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to remind residents to secure all attractants on the exterior of their properties.
Bear Behavior and Prevention

To prevent bear conflicts, residents must ensure they are not providing attractants such as unsecured trash or pet food.
