Oregon bears’ pre-winter feeding frenzy raises human encounters; officials urge secure food storage to prevent conflicts.
Oregon’s black bears are entering hyperphagia, a feeding frenzy ahead of winter, increasing encounters with humans, especially in coastal, Cascade, and Blue Mountain regions.
The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife urges residents to use bear-resistant trash cans and secure food sources like pet food, bird seed, and grills to prevent bears from becoming habituated to human food.
Unsecured waste is a major cause of conflicts, which can lead to bear relocation or euthanasia.
ODFW says most incidents are preventable through BearWise practices, such as removing bird feeders, cleaning grills, and reporting unusual bear behavior.
Residents are advised to avoid feeding bears and contact local authorities if needed.
