Several residents on Brucemont Circle in the heart of West Asheville saw the bear shortly after 8 a.m. near a chicken coop owned by three families in the neighborhood.
"I think the bear was checking out the chicken coop when I drove up," said Brucemont Circle resident Paul Moore, who was returning home from taking his daughter to school.
The bear stayed in Moore's nextdoor neighbor's yard for several minutes, then climbed a fence and went into another yard before disappearing.
Moore said he couldn't guess where the bear might have come from. It would have had to cross one or more major roads, including possibly Haywood Road or Patton Avenue, to get to Brucemont Circle.
