— A bear that became stuck in the deep snow of a ditch southwest of Wannaska in Roseau County was rescued Monday morning and relocated to a new makeshift den at Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area in Marshall County, a bear expert for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said. ”“A bear in a culvert in a ditch is not an unknown thing, and coming into the scene, that was my first thought is, ‘All right, we should let things go,’ and if it’s acting normally, by the time Kyle and Ben would give it a poke, it would run off and be fine and then go make another den in a windrow or brush pile — that sort of thing,” Tri said. Whether the bear stays in its new "nest," remains to be seen, but the rescue effort had a favorable outcome, Tri said
