Are there bears in the Black Hills?

Yes, not common but you could happen upon one if you are high up in one of Idaho's mountains. actually they are rather common I personally know two people who have seen them in Idaho one of them was drug out of there tent by one because she was a moron and put a chocolate bar under her pillow. There are a lot of black bears in Idaho, generally in the Northern region. There are also some Grizzley bears along the Montana border.
