Nevada Department of Wildlife officials removed a bear trap sitting outside a Skyland residence without having caught the bear.

The trap was set Nov. 14 and removed Nov. 18. NDOW places traps upon a homeowner’s request. This is the 11th trap this year removed without having caught a bear.

The neighbor, according to the Bear Leauge, has a penchant for leaving trash out.

The Bear League tried to reach out to the homeowner and offered non-lethal methods of deterrents.
