MISSOULA – FWP is reminding people to stay “Bear Aware” when recreating. Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks (FWP) is issuing an alert after reports of more bears than normal coming into town earlier than usual. FWP says they’ve trapped and relocated multiple bears this year – including two bears from Higgins Avenue in Missoula. A third ‘Hip Strip’ bear is still in the downtown area, and FWP says a trap has been set on UM for the two black bears that were spotted near the M trailhead earlier this week.
