MT: Bear Shot by Homeowner (30 May, 2019)

MILES CITY – A small black bear was shot by a Miles City homeowner Monday after it approached the home three times to hunt through trash, according to state wildlife officials.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks warden were alerted and removed the bear from the area at the southern edge of town. The agency did not release the bear’s injuries or whether it survived.

Wardens responded to the report at 6 p.m. Monday, which caused the bear to avoid hazing attempts and flee. It came back two more times and was shot after it entered a garage, according to FIsh and Wildlife.
