The capture of a grizzly bear caused excitement Thursday at the Nordman Bar and Store, near the upper end of Priest Lake.
Although a few grizzlies roam the nearby Selkirk Mountains, it's unusual for them to show up at lower elevations.
"It's really remarkable," said Lisa Votava, who owns the bar with her husband, Randy. "Our back yard was made protected grizzly territory a few years ago, but we never expected to see one."
