WINTER IS DONE AND SPRING IS HERE. BUT WITH SPRING COMES BEAR SEASON. NEW MEXICANS ARE NOW BEING WARNED THAT THE BEARS ARE WAKING UP FROM HIBERNATION.
TRISTANNA BICKFORD WITH THE NEW MEXICO GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT TELLS US THERE’S ONLY ONE REASON SOME BEARS HIBERNATE LONGER. SHE SAYS THERE WAS A GOOD FOOD SUPPLY LAST YEAR, PHYSICALLY ALLOWING BEARS TO STAY HIBERNATING LONGER.
IF YOU’RE IN THE MOUNTAINS, BE ESPECIALLY AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. DON’T WEAR HEAD PHONES BECAUSE THEY BLOCK OUTSIDE NOISE. AND IF YOU LIVE IN TOWN, CLEAN YOUR YARD … INCLUDING FALLEN FRUIT.
