For at least the second year in a row, I had a quiet Halloween night. To be fair, I had been covering Halloween festivities since Thursday, so I had already enjoyed seeing kids from all over Carbon County dressed in their costumes. It was incredibly fun.

This past Saturday, I had candy waiting by the door for trick-or-treaters, and my costume was ready to go.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is currently experiencing an uptick in black bear activity throughout the state.

Bears are currently entering hyperphagia, a biologically-driven period in late summer and fall where they begin to forage and build fat reserves for winter. During this time, bears will consume up to 20,000 calories a day.
