Only one bear has been destroyed in the Trail area so far this year.
Desiree Profili with Wildsafe BC says people have been doing a much better job of taking steps to cut back on conflcts with wildlife.
She says now is a good time to start picking fruit in your yard as bears will be looking to stock up for hibernation soon.
She adds bird-feeders are a big attractant and they should be kept inside until the snow falls.
