EVERGREEN MAN CHARGED IN SHOOTING OF BEAR CUBS
DENVER – Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, with full support and cooperation from Colorado Parks and Wildlife, have presented their case to the district attorney regarding Dan Williams of Evergreen for the illegal shooting of two bear cubs outside his home. Charges being pursued for Williams include:
--18-12-107.5: Illegal Discharge of a Firearm (into a dwelling); (F5)
--18-9-202(1.5)(b): Aggravated Cruelty to Animals (F6)
--33-6-126: Shooting Across a Public Road
--33-6-101.3: Hunting Bear During the Period of March 1 through Sept. 1-3 Counts (M1)
--33-6-109(1): Illegal Possession of a bear during March 1 through Sept. 1- 2 Counts (M1)
On the morning of Sept. 1, Williams awoke to the sounds of bears going through his trash around 5:15 a.m. He stepped outside with his shotgun, firing two rounds of rubber buckshot to scare them off. His third round was live ammunition that hit both cubs, as well as a neighbor’s house uphill. Both bears were gravely wounded and had to be euthanized by Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers.
The mother bear ran across the street up into a tree, which she vacated later that evening.
"Shooting bears outside your home should be the last resort of anyone living in bear country, " said Steve Yamashita, northeast regional manager. "Colorado Parks and Wildlife strongly encourages everyone to be aware of the wildlife that lives in their neighborhood and take steps to mitigate conflicts before they happen. Remove all attractants, haze bears away from your home, and then contact Colorado Parks and Wildlife for next steps. "
Colorado’s northern Front Range has experienced a localized food failure this year, brought on by three weather events: an extreme and sudden temperature drop last November, the heavy rains throughout the month of May, and a hard frost on Mother’s Day. This has caused bears in the northeast region to search far and wide for food sources, in homes, vehicles, livestock pens and garages.
All citizens west of I-25 should be aware that bears may be roaming into neighborhoods as never before. If you see signs of bear activity, such as knocked-over garbage cans, bear scat or disturbed birdfeeders, start cleaning up attractants around your yard. If you see bears around your neighborhood, chase them away (from a safe distance) by clapping hands, banging pots and pans or blowing a horn.
Keep in mind these important recommendations:
--Keep garbage in a well-secured location
--Only put out garbage on the morning of pickup.
--Clean garbage cans regularly to keep them odor free.
--If you don't have secure storage, put items that might become smelly into the freezer until
trash day.
--Don't leave pet food or stock feed outside.
--Bird feeders should be brought in at this time of year -- birds don't need to be fed during the summer. --Bird feeders are a major source of bear/human conflicts. Attract birds naturally with flowers and water baths.
--If you have bird feeders: clean up beneath them, bring them in at night, and hang them high so that they're completely inaccessible to bears.
--Secure compost piles. Bears are attracted to the scent of rotting food -- and they'll eat
anything.
--Allow grills to burn for a couple of minutes after cooking to burn off grease and to eliminate odors. Clean the grill after each use.
--Cleanup thoroughly after picnics in the yard or on the deck. Don't allow food odors to
linger.
--If you have fruit trees, pick fruit before it gets too ripe. Don't allow fruit to rot on the ground.
--Close garage doors.
--Do not keep food in your vehicle; roll up windows and lock the doors of your vehicles
--Keep the bottom floor windows of your house closed when you're not at home.
--Talk to your neighbors and kids about being bear aware.

If it's okay with you, I'm just going to keep pretending that your post was vaguely worded rather than admit I may have made a mistake.Quote:
