Last week in the Boundary Waters a turn of events happened in the blink of an eye as a hungry bear looking for food happened to grab a campers bag that also contained a handgun. Conservation Officer Mary Manning reported the incident in her weekly conservation report. Bring Me The News reports that Manning was working in the Boundary Waters canoe Area with a U.S. Forest Service Officer when they received a report of a bear that was armed in the BWCA. According to that report a camper in the area apparently had some snacks in their backpack that smelled delicious to this bear.
