DNR Wants Your Help Spotting Bear Dens this Winter

Thursday, November 9th, 2023 -- 8:01 AM

(Raymond Neupert, WRN) The Department of Natural Resources wants hunters and hikers to report bear dens.

The effort is part of the Department's annual bear population survey. Biologists are pairing the locations of those dens to go along with reports of bears feeding on human food and leftovers.

They're hoping to find out if that has any connection with survival rates on bear cubs. All you have to do is record where that den is, take a picture if you can, and submit it online. We've got a link on our website.
