IF YOU LIVE NEAR BEAR COUNTRY, YOU'RE BEING WARNED TO MAKE SURE YOU PUT AWAY YOUR TRASH AND PET FOOD. IT'S BEEN A WEEK FOR BEARS IN AND AROUND ALBUQUERQUE. THE FOURTH BEAR TO WANDER INTO THE METRO AREA THIS WEEK WAS SPOTTED THURSDAY MORNING NEAR TRAMWAY AND COPPER.
THAT FOLLOWS A 120 POUND FEMALE THAT SCAMPERED UP A TREE NEAR TRAMWAY AND VENTURA WEDNESDAY MORNING AND HAD TO BE SHOT WITH THREE TRANQUILIZER DARTS TO GET HER DOWN. A 250 POUND BEAR WAS CAPTURED ON TUESDAY NEAR TRAMWAY AND COMANCHE. HE HAD ALSO RUN UP A TREE. AND A BIG BEAR THAT HAD BEEN CAUSING TROUBLE IN ALGODONES FOR AT LEAST A WEEK WAS FINALLY "TRANKED" AND CAUGHT ON TUESDAY AS WELL.
