What to do if you find a bear in your yard?

If you are in your house and you see a bear in your yard or on your road, Mass Fish and Wildlife say "let it be."  Keep your dog under control, go inside, and take some photos to impress your friends. You may want to take down bird feeders and secure trash cans if you have seen a bear (once the bear has moved on) because they're looking for food.The only bears we have in Massachusetts are black bears, which are pretty non-threatening when left alone, and this is especially true for solo bears.If you see a mother and cubs, however, be alert and back yourself out of range.
