See a Bear?
Don't Panic
Despite last week's sight-
ing of a black bear near
Manchester, residents are
being urged not to panic.
The black bear is a mag-
nificent example of wildlife
and a reminder of the
untamed portion of Georgia.
The Georgia Department of
Natural Resources, W'fldlife
Resources Division (WRD)
encourages residents to edu-
cate themselves about bears,
theirhabits and how they can
be kept out of populated
areas.
"In its natural setting,
such as in swamps and forest-
ed areas, a black bear sight-
ing is something that few peo-
ple will ever forget.
However, as human popula-
tions grow and expand into
areas traditionany inhabited
by bears, or as bears wander
into human territory in
search of food, conflicts may
arise and bears become seen
as a threat or a nuisance,"
says WRD Assistant Chief of
Game Management Dan
Forster. "Education about
bears can help prevent such
conflicts from occurring."
Prior to the eighteenth
century bears were common
in Georgia However, habitat
loss and overall degradation
of habitat due to human
development contributed to
a serious population decline.
Thanks to sound wildlife
management practices bears
have recovered to the pres-
ent population of more than
2,000 in Georgia. Black bears
typically can be found in
three distinct regions in the
state, the North Georgia
mountains, the Ocmulgee
River drainage system in
central part of the state and
the Okefenokee Swamp in the
southeast. However, once
spring arrives bears often are
found far from these tradi-
tional locations. Young male
bears on their own for the
first time often will roam
large areas until they estab-
lish their own territory and
ag bears willroam out of their
traditional areas in search of
food, especially when their
natural diet sources are
scarce.
A bear's diet consists of
whatever is readily avagable
at that time of year, and varies
according to the part of the
state in which the bear lives.
The majority of their natural
diet consists of berries,
fruits, acorns, grasses and
animal matter, including
insects. However, when hous-
es, cans or recreation areas
are located within range,
bears are naturally attracted
to the smelb associated with
cooking and garbage dispos-
al. Other non-natural attrac-
tants include pet food, bird-
seed, suet, compost piles, ur-
dens, beehives and corn-
fields. The easier these types
of food are to obtain, the less
likely it is that the bear will
observe its own natural fear
of humans.
"Keeping bears out of
yards or neighborhoods can
easily be accomplished by
removing food sources or
making them difficult for the
bear to obtain if it is dane
prior to a bear visitation,"
says Forster. "However, once
the bear makes the associa-
tion between humans and
food it becomes increasing-
ly difficult to break this pat-
tern."
WRD encourages resi-
dents and campers to under-
stand bear attractants and do
all they can to discourage
bears by observing the fol-
lowing tips: Do not feed a
bear. Bears have a keen sense
of smell, so keep items, such
as grills, pet food, gardens,
beehives or bird feeders, off
E_mdts to bears. Clean and
store grills when not in use,
keep pet food indoors, take
bird feeders down ff bears
are in the area and if neces-
saw, install electric fences
around areas such as bee-
hives, gardens and compost
piles. Make sure trashcans
are bear proof or kept
indoors. When camping or
picnicking, keep your site
clean. Never leave unattend-
ed food or coolers or keep
food in or near your tent.
Store food in progerly sealed
containers and whenever
possible, store these contain-
ers in a vehicle. If camping
in backcountry areas, hang
packs or food bags at least
ten feet off the ground and at
least four feet from the trunk
of a tree.
If a bear is sighted,
remain calm and remember
that as long as an easy food
source is not available, the
bear likely will wander off on
its own. Never approach a
bear, no matter how tame it
may look. If a bear changes
its behavior, such as snapping
its jaws, slapping the ground
or bluff charging, it indicates
that the bear feels threatened
and anyone nearby should
back away slowly while mak-
ing a lot of noise.
Do not attempt to run
from a bear as this imitates
prey.
In the unlikely event of
an attack, act aggressively
by yelling, waving your arms
and using anything you can
find, such as rocks or sticks,
to make noise.
,For more information on
bears, contact a WRD Game
Lanagement Office or call
(770) 918-6416.
