HURLBURT FIELD, Fla.-- Several bears once again paid a visit to Hurlburt Field Sept. 21. The bear's visit should serve as a reminder of the importance of taking preventive measures to ensure that humans and bears maintain a peaceful coexistence. Use caution when having food outside, whether it be in trash cans, pet food bowls, or other areas. Doing so will greatly lessen the chance of an up close encounter with a part of nature.
