Exactly. We do not know what the population is now, because no official estimate has been made for a decade.
The population has been going up by 4% a year. Using that, there should be 6,000 bears in Florida now.
I would hate to hit a bear. A deer will total your car, a bear could be much worse.

There must be, even more. We have bears here all the time. They come off Eglin AFB and raid peoples garbage cans, restaurants and even here at work in the industrial park. I’ve seen bears many times, even had to wait for one to cross the road so I could get to work. ...............
