It’s that time of year when bears are roaming Lake Tahoe neighborhoods.

Although it’s never a good idea to put trash out before the day it picked up, it’s even more critical now not to so these bruins don’t get hooked on human food.

The anonymous South Lake Tahoe photographer says this bear named Brutus was hit by a car two weeks ago and is now scavenging for food.

The Bear League has information about living with bears.

Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care is also a good resource for information.

    I don’t think that photo is Brutus, I’ve seen Brutus in my rear view mirror on Hwy 50 by u-haul and he’s the size of a Volkswagon!
