Update: I now know exactly where this bear was.A good friend has seen a sow and 3 cubs on his cameras. He is north of Mountain and SE of Walhalla.
Tell that to my buddies brother that had one walking around on his deck one night, he got a neat video on his security camera. Knocked over and dug through the trash and also knocked over and dug through the neighbors dumpster. This was about 1 week ago 2mi west of Leonard.Really cool to see bears in ND.
We have them around our lake place and they do get into things once in a while.

This was 2-3mi west of Leonard about a week ago. Granted in that general area and where I live I have been saying for 10+ years that we more than likely have a couple area resident bears that wonder around.
Back in the early 2000's I worked for a bee keeper and he had bee yards around Buffalo and Page ND. Every once in a while you would have one that got hit by a bear. That country doesn't exactly scream bear country to me but it would happen from time to time. I think I can recall 2 times in the 5 full time summers I worked for them. Realistically there isn't any reason not to have a few bears between Leonard and McCloud with the Sheyenne River and the GrasslandsWe have them around our lake place and they do get into things once in a while.
