PORT ORCHARD — Washington Fish and Wildlife Department agents continue to track a young black bear Tuesday afternoon near Port Orchard.
The bear withstood a tranquilizer dart Monday and resisted a trap Monday night baited with doughnuts, marshmallows and maple syrup.
Sgt. Ted Jackson says they are continuing to follow the bear to make sure it stays in a greenbelt away from schools. If agents get a shot, they’ll try to dart it again. If the bear remains in the area, they’ll try again to trap it and relocate it.
