This increase is partially due to an individual bear in West Vail that the police and Colorado Parks and Wildlife are aware of and pursuing to relocate. During the period of March 1 through July 11, 2023, there were 50 calls about bears made to the Vail dispatch center, compared to 35 calls in the same time frame last year. The Vail Police Department has received more calls about bears this summer than last year. Most commonly, bears have been seen digging into people’s improperly latched trash disposal containers in search of an easy meal. The tags indicate that the bear has likely had human interactions in the past, causing it to be tagged by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.Įagle County residents and visitors have reported seeing bears this week in their backyards, on frontage roads, and even inside of their homes.
This bear, with two tags in its ears, has been seen in multiple places in West Vail this summer.
