Ok now we're just arguing semantics. Yes, there probably are one or two black bears currently living in South Dakota; whether you want to call that a semi-permanent population is up to you.
Doesn't change the fact that the OP's data is completely laughable to anyone who's spent time outdoors in Wyoming or South Dakota, which is the real issue here.
