Bears and apples
F&G staff and volunteers pick apples in Eastern Idaho to avoid attracting bears
Conservation officers and biologists from Idaho Fish and Game teamed up with a group of hard working volunteers recently to pick and gather apples around the city of Ashton in an effort to prevent the juicy fruits from attracting bears into backyards. Fish and Game regularly responds to bears wandering into neighborhoods this time of year as they search for fruit trees and other easy meals to provide them with quick calories in preparation for winter.
