[QUOTE="luvcatchingbass, post: 397013, member: 1979"] We get them down in my area fairly frequently. My HS employer was a bee keeper so back in the late 90's early 2000's we would have a bee yard get hit by a bear and those were Buffalo and Hope Page area's, that's not just a little ways from MN. Our Sheyenne grasslands and Sheyenne river system area it would be nothing for a breeding bear to live, one was spotted near Wyndmere and later in summer more evidence near Colfax which is spitting distance from me. Young bears have been spotted sporadically in my area and while I'm not a bear expert there is no way a bear as young as a couple that were spotted around 2009 and another after that wondered all the way from Twin Valley MN area (nearest huntable bear territory I figure) on their own. Wolves that is nothing new, dad grew up running around cattle in the grasslands and "wolves" were present back then, I can tell you their tracks are noticeable not like dog or yote, fairly certain I saw one south west of Sheldon coyote hunting years ago Then you have mountain lions which on our farm over the years we have had 3 known experiences with me sighting one once feeding horses. I'm not saying we are being invaded or over run but I am confident that we have more predator's bigger than coyotes and I would not put out of question the potential of breeding taking place periodically. My comment on grizz only comes from a rancher that I talked with this past spring while turkey hunting out west, I have no reason to be skeptic of what he told me. [/QUOTE]
