When we first moved to the Poconos in PA in the ‘80’s there were about 2,500 bears in PA. Last count I saw was that there are over 18,000 here. Hard to believe there are only 6-8Kbears in NY. Plus they don’t respect borders.

We’ve had many here in our local area in the last months too. Central MD.

This is the very intention of bear season.

The key to safely living near bears is to know you are living near bears...... I recently moved to a house in a large wooded area. None of my neighbors had ever seen a bear, but within 6 months I’d had them on my patio, cleaning out the bird feeder. Up went the trail cameras and soon I had 5 different bears identified.

I pulled in the bird feeders/garbage cans and passed on buying a BBQ grill. So far that seems to have worked, as no more sightings near the house. A few weeks back this big fella made an appearance a few hundred yards up in my backyard:

You can peruse my YouTube channel (my channel is keystone117)for other bear/wildlife videos. You deer hunters might like a video of the hefty buck I call The Mailman, as he lives in the brush right behind my mailbox. At first sighting I thought he was a small elk......

My guess is the leftist propaganda and tactics have caused a drop in Hunting and hunters. Therefore, more bears.
It’s a cause and effect thing. At least NYC is insulated and that’s all that counts, right?
