CPW captured the third cub, and released it back into bear habitat, away from the city. "The cub, a male estimated at about 40-pounds, was deemed healthy by CPW officers. With excellent crops of acorns and chokecherries, it should easily survive," said Mike Brown, CPW Area Wildlife Manager for the region including Trinidad.

On Friday, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said a man was cited after shooting at a female bear and its’ three cubs. CPW said the bears were killing a man’s chickens in Trinidad, so the man took out a firearm and shot at the family of bears,
