DOW SETS TRAP FOR BEAR IN TELLER CO.

A 49-year-old Teller County man was injured by a black bear July 31.

The man was sleeping in a semi-permanent motorhome parked on vacant land north of Cripple Creek when the bear entered through a make-shift pet door around 3 a.m.

The man suffered multiple lacerations about his head and back. He was treated and released from a local medical facility in Woodland Park. Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) authorities are attempting to capture the bear. If they can do so, it will be destroyed.

“The DOW policy for handling dangerous bears is very straight forward,” said Deeney. “Once a bear injures a person, no matter what the circumstances, it is categorized as a dangerous bear and it must be destroyed.”

According to the DOW, a possible motive for the attack was attractants found around the house, including outdoor cooking facilities, pet food and garbage.

“These kinds of attractants certainly pose a potential danger to homeowners, and we continue to encourage all homeowners living in bear country to take precautions and bear-proof their property,” said Area Wildlife Manager Shaun Deeney. “While we do not tolerate bears that pose an immediate threat to people, we cannot overstress the need to remove attractants to deter bears if you live in an area that bears are known to frequent.”
