LOTS OF BEAR FOOD IN NEW MEXICO’S MOUNTAINS THIS SUMMER. KARL MOFFATT WITH STATE GAME AND FISH TELLS US MAST SURVEYS FOUND ALL THE RAIN HAS HELPED GROW BERRIES, NUTS, AND GRASSES FOR BEARS TO EAT. HE TELLS US THE BEAR THAT RECENTLY BIT A TEENAGE GIRL SLEEPING IN A TENT OUTSIDE RATON WAS LIKELY LURED TO SOMETHING IN THE YARD.
MOFFATT SAYS AFTER CAMPERS PUT AWAY THEIR FOOD, DON’T WEAR THE SAME CLOTHES TO BED BECAUSE THE FOOD ODOR ON THEM ATTRACTS BEARS TO YOUR TENT.
