A trap has been set up in the Eastport area to capture a marauding black bear that has been feeding on domestic chickens.
A caller to VOCM Open Line with Brian Callahan says despite the trap, the bear continues to visit the area.
She says she and her neighbours have already lost dozens of chickens.
She says she alone has lost at least 17 chickens.
The town has issued an advisory to residents to keep an eye out and to report any sightings to the local forestry office.
