N-Dow’s bear trap is now in place on Sharon Way in Reno, after multiple reports of a bear in the neighborhood. Ashley Sanchez with the Nevada Department of Wildlife says living in bear country is a year round responsibility. She hopes the bear will be caught soon, and that residents can stay protected by moving any bear attractants outside the house inside, such as trash cans, food and bird feeders, especially at night; and if you see a bear never run away. Her tip, “Make yourself look big, yell, use pots and pans and usually they will run away.”
