Black Bear Seen Again In Southwest Wisconsin

A black bear was spotted this morning on the University of Wisconsin-Platteville campus. The bear was seen walking through the Warner Hall parking lot. According to the Platteville Police Department, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has been contacted about the bear sighting. It is unknown if this bear is the same bear that has been spotted the past few weeks in Southwest Wisconsin. A black bear strolled through Muscoda on May 30th. Authorities escorted that bear out of town and into some adjacent DNR lands. A bear was seen roaming around the area of Highway 151 near Belmont after that. A bear was also seen in the parking lot of Monroe Clinic a few days later. Authorities say it is mating season for bears and this bear is looking for a mate and should be left alone.
