Hats off the folks at Colorado Parks and Wildlife finally captured this juvenile bear with a chicken feeder stuck around its neck since it was first spotted on July 6th.  The yearling bear managed to elude wildlife officers for several days before it was finally located in a tree Tuesday where it was tranq darted and the troublesome plastic was removed without incident. Well done.
