BEARS. The city reported sightings of bears within the city limits of Dubuque on Memorial Day, 2015. These were the first reported sightings in at least five years. Shortly before 11:30 a.m. Ginnifer Weiler called Dubuque police to report seeing a bear in her backyard at 370 Julien Dubuque Drive. Investigations by a representative of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources indicated that the tracks were those of a black bear weighing between 100 to 200 pounds.
Shortly after Weiler's call, Dubuque officials were alerted to sightings of a second bear near 1100 Mount Carmel. At about 1:30 p.m. a third call reported two bears at once in the 100 block of Julien Dubuque Drive.
