Here’s something you don’t hear everyday. Police responded to reports of “an armed bear in the BWCA.”
A Minnesota conservation officer and an officer with the US Fish and Wildlife Service recently received a call when a black bear ran off with a camper’s backpack which had a handgun in it, officials said in a statement. Officers eventually found the bag partially shredded, with “numerous empty snack wrappers,” and the gun, was recovered as well, according to the statement.
