My niece and her neighbors hear them and see them in their Pennsylvania neighborhood, not in frequently.
yep- east coast is loaded with black bears- Had one huff at me and clap it’s teeth- just over the hill in front of me- and had one up a tree above me and didn’t realize it till i heard it scraped the bark climbing higher- They say if you are a nature lover that you’ve very likely had a large number of bears around you in some places and never knew it- I’m happy not knowing lol
I have absolutely no doubt about that.
Do they take pictures or videos or record them?
