One sow with a 1.5 yo cub.
One male three years old.
One male four years old.
One male estimated 500 lbs.

We were having a lot of bear sightings in SE Ohio. When the fracking got into full swing the bear sightings tapered off. Now cranking back up again. Here is bear swimming Ohio River from WVa to Ohio. Up near WVA-Pa-Ohio border. He will land in old Rust Belt area. Same area where Pretty Boy Floyd got scuffed. If he doesn’t get run over or ate by laid off worker he will end up down this way in a couple of weeks. Maybe live happily ever after in Wayne Nation Forrest.

We had nine of them (black bears) last year that move into take care of the choke cherries, this year so far we have a young male and a big old boar. A new couple moved into a house about a 1/4 of a mile south of us. They saw a bear cross the back of their property so they called the game department. The warden came out and explained to them that this was a very high bear area. The new neighbor asked the warden if there really was that many bears here. The warden told him to pick up the rock over there and throw it into the woods, you might hit one.
These pictures are a couple days old. The young one is just starting to get all his hair back from shedding his winter coat, the old guy is looking good already.

This happened not far from me......and close to an area that borders GSNP that I've hunted frequently. Here's a link to another account that gives more details. Don

Teen sleeping in hammock attacked by bear in Great Smoky Mountains National Park; bear shot, killed – KIRO 7 News Seattle

The teen wrapped up in the hammock was thinking sleep, bear was thinking Tacos.

Think of the number of times we all went camping as a kid and never gave a second thought to have a bear sniffing around you or in the ocean riding the waves not worried about a shark.

 

[Telecaster]

I didn’t think about sharks till Jaws came out.

Bill I think one of your bears was at my house today I.
I looked at the trash and said only one bag I'll wait till Monday morning to bring it to the transfer station.
This year. I've only seen one at my trash so far .
But as I was mowing the grass behind my garage I saw something moving in the woods it was a bear about 35 yards from me. I live a half mile from the fairgrounds.
I was talking to the lady next door after I saw the bear and she told me her dog chased a cub up a tree so mama must of been close by.
Last Sunday morning a large bear was seen downtown at Baldwin park.

CT has become a "wild kingdom" of sorts. When I was growing up there in the late 60's - early 1970's, didn't see many deer, now it's over run with them. Black bears were unheard off back then, but not now. Just last week, a buddy of mine who lives in Terryville CT called me, and told me he was sitting at an intersection down town, waiting for the light to change, when a big black bear came walking down the sidewalk, then crossed the road at the intersections cross walk, disappearing behind some buildings. Big resident population now.

Moose to, believe it or not. A CT resident may remember back in the early 1980's, there was a bull moose shot in a corn field in Southbury by police after it "charged" them. I was a state cop at the time, and was there for that fiasco, but didn't take part in that "assassination". Lots of public outcry about it, then not long afterwords, another moose found in neighboring Newtown. DEP decided to tranquilize it, as it represented a danger to traffic on nearby Interstate 84. They managed to kill it with an overdose.
