RE: Bear problems! help!
Let's see . . . you're in MN . . . try calling your Game & Fish or Fish & Game or whatever it's called and see if they, or know someone who, could trap and remove (relocate) the bear. Sometimes a University has biology departments that might be of some help.
I know this because two years ago, after months of scouting, preperation, filing proper baiting forms with our G&F, I find the perfect spot for bear.
Only to find out that the University had just been in the area trapping and relocating bears!!!!!!
Or you can shoot it for the rug.
