Bear in Belgrade: Stay Safe, Stay Silent | Bozeman News

A black bear wandered into Belgrade’s soccer fields near Saddle Peak Elementary, grounding kids’ drop-offs and sparking safety alerts. Police urge distance to avoid startling the animal or risking harm, while Fish, Wildlife and Parks advise securing trash, bird feeders, and pet food to deter bears from becoming too comfortable around town. The bear eventually climbed a tree in a neighborhood, posing no threat — but experts warn that if bears start relying on human food, it’s trouble for them. With bears eating up to 20 hours daily as they prep for winter, sightings are increasing across the Gallatin Valley. If you spot one? Report it — but don’t approach. Let nature take its course.
