Carcass Removal

October 24, 2019
Question: Who can I call about a dead bear on my property? (Beverly)

Answer: With some exceptions, removal and disposal of wildlife carcasses is not a service that CDFW provides. If you believe the bear may have been poached, please report it to CalTIP, 1-888-334-2258, and a wildlife officer will contact you. If the bear has an ear tag, please contact the closest regional office to speak with a biologist.

Otherwise, your local or city authorities may offer options, such as pickup and transport to a rendering plant.

Dog a hole and bury it.... that’s what my grandpa use to do on the farm.
