Traps set near Aspen for ‘aggressive bear’ that bit hiker

BEAR ENCOUNTER TIPS

If you see a bear, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials offer these basic tips:

— Do not run from a bear, stand your ground and talk firmly to the animal;

— If it continues to approach, throw rocks and sticks, wave your arms and yell loudly;

— If the bear attacks, fight back as aggressively as possible and do not stop until the bear runs off.
