Black bear spotted in Doylestown, Pa. backyard | CAUGHT ON VIDEO

DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- The Pennsylvania Game Commission is on the hunt for a black bear cub that has popped up several times in residential neighborhoods in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

The bear was first seen around Covered Bridge Lane on Monday. The Game Commission said he had gone into the backyards of two homes on the street to satisfy his hunger with bird feed. Since then, the cub has been spotted in at least three other locations around town.

That includes the backyard of Scott Matlack, who said he was filling up the bird feeder at his home on Twin Oaks Road Friday morning when he felt something looking in his direction.

"The bear was on the other side of the fence with his arms over the fence looking at me," Matlack explained. "And of course, I freaked out and got the dog inside."

Matlack said he believed the bear stuck around for a little while because he said 30 minutes after initially seeing the bear, he spotted it climbing over his fence, walking around the yard and then unsuccessfully attempting to climb up a pole that holds his bird feeders.

"He was obviously interested in the bird feeder. He came over the fence and walked around," Matlack said. "I guess I was a little bit scared, but it was more like I couldn't believe what I was seeing."

The Game Commission has set up a trap full of treats in an effort to lure the bear and capture it. So far, it's avoided the temptation of donuts and cake to instead, continue its exploration throughout Doylestown.

Jeremy Deppeler said he and his son spotted the bear cub in their yard on Shady Grove Circle Friday morning. He said they decided to go out and see if they could see the bear after news of another sighting began to spread among neighbors. Shortly after they went out on their deck, Deppeler said they heard ruffling and then the bear emerged from the brush.

"It was right there within a baseball shot away from us and so we both kind of froze," Deppeler said. "We battle fox here all the time. The fox are always trying to eat the chicken, but you never think you're going to see a bear."

State Game Warden James Crown said the bear was probably harmless, but he urged people to give the bear its distance.

"Please don't approach it. Please don't try to throw food at it. Please don't try to get really close and take a picture. It is a wild animal. They are unpredictable," Crown said.
