They are found[rare] in East Texas. I've seen some mounts of them taken by poachers at some of the Gane Warden displays.

Seems like black bear are mainly fish eaters (and berries and honey) that need rivers and creeks that don’t run dry like they do here in Centex.

Funny things that scare some and not other people. I wouldn’t be bothered if my daughter ran across a black bear, but we found an alligator (actually a Caiman, 5 ft long, a pet) and she was banned from the lake! (Travis). :)
