Bear with bucket on its head prompts warning in Colorado

Bear with bucket on head

A bear with a chicken feeder around its head and neck is roaming around Boulder County — and Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers are hoping to assist it.

The first report about the bear was made on Wednesday and it since has been spotted twice. The bear is believed to be roaming between Gold and Seven Hills, west of Boulder, said Jason Clay, a spokesperson for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. 

If wildlife officers get the chance, removing the bucket could take some time . However, tracking down the bear is the most difficult part, Clay said.

Any resident that sees the bear is urged to contact Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Denver office at 303-291-7227. When outside of business hours, people should call the Colorado State Patrol at 303-239-4501 and ask for a wildlife officer.
