MT: Homeowner shoots Black Bear at His Home in Miles City

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 fled the final time to a neighbor’s home, where it was shot by the homeowner, according to FIsh and Wildlife.

Montana law allows people to kill a bear to defend themselves, another person or a domestic dog. However, Fish and Wildlife also notes that people may be able to avoid attracting bears by taking preventive steps.
