Michigan DNR advises residents to secure food sources to prevent black bear encounters during spring.
Michigan DNR advises residents to remove bird feeders, secure garbage cans, and bring pet foods indoors to prevent black bear encounters during spring. Bears leave their dens to search for food, and can be attracted to birdseed, garbage, beehives, and pet food. Allowing them to feed from these sources can lead to problems, such as bears losing their fear of humans, causing property damage, or creating dangerous situations.
