Bears in Campground Force Closure | Portland News

Bears near McMinnville are getting dangerously bold—mama and cub have been raiding campgrounds and acting aggressive, forcing the BLM to shut down Fan Creek Campground. These bears aren’t even scared of humans, which is a huge warning sign. Wildlife officials from Oregon and local sheriffs are stepping up as fall approaches and bears ramp up food-seeking behavior. Experts urge campers to secure trash, clean grills, and remove bird feeders to avoid attracting bears. If you spot a bear acting weird or hanging around homes, report it immediately. Safety starts with smart habits—keep your food locked away and respect their space. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
