No one has been hurt, but campers say the bear has stealing food for days.
James Younger says the creature made off with some of his groceries before he even had time to cache the apples and carrots in a tree.
Another camper says the bear climbed into the back of his pickup to munch on food stored there.
A trap has now been set in hopes of catching, and possibly relocating, the bear. (CFAX)
