In the early morning hours of last Sunday, August 17th, Deputies were dispatched to a call for service at the Ice Cream Shop at Camp Richardson in South Lake Tahoe. The deputies could barely believe their eyes as they saw a large bear behind the counter of the shop.

It all started on June 7, when the bear crushed an unoccupied tent at the campsite.

A mountain biker safely managed a close encounter with a bear while riding on the Starry Goat Trail on national forestland near Troy last week. 

Effective March 1, 2024, food storage regulations will be reinstated annually from March 1- December 1, 2024, across five ranger districts within the Custer Gallatin National Forest: Bozeman, Hebgen Lake, Gardiner, Yellowstone, and Beartooth.

The bear had taken shelter in a crawlspace.
