Bear Sighting in Northeast Iowa Prompts DNR Warning
Posted: October 15, 2010
DES MOINES - A black bear last seen in and around the Yellow River Forest in Allamakee County is prompting warnings from Iowa Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologists to avoid the animal....
Garner said the Yellow River Forest area is suitable habitat for the bear and it would not need human intervention to survive. He advises that the bear be left alone.
"This animal is likely a young male that moved over here from southern Wisconsin where there is a wild bear population," said Garner.
