We just had a black bear sighting about 5 miles from my place. That is way, way out of their known range.

Haw. I'll see your five miles and raise you my front yard.
Remember last year when I had a black bear trundle through 15 ft from my office window?
Never saw him again.

Well, you live in VA, right? In a rural part west of NoVa? You're at least on the outskirts of black bear country if not surrounded by it.
I'd have thought Ohio's a weird place to find them, though.
Please love yourself.

I grew up in the woods and mountains 30 miles south of Pittsburgh. As a teenager, a good time was taking fishing gear out to the woods and lake and hanging out all night fishing. As a 20-something a good time was taking a case of beer and fishing gear out to the lake and woods and attempting to fish all night. I was in scouts and went on a number of camping trips with Lucas when he was a scout. My entire life, I never saw a bear in the wild. One time a friend and I did see a big furry black butt disappearing into the woods, but we couldn’t verify.
About 7 years ago I was volunteering at a church in Ashburn, VA. You don’t get more suburban than Ashburn… Sure enough, a yearling black bear comes trundling across the parking lot towards me and the students…

Especially southwestern Ohio.

I’ll start worrying when u see polar bears nearby

This one came to our bird feeders a few years ago, knocking the feeder poles down and smashing some feeders. He left his paw prints on the squirrel guard. I guess he knew he wasn't a squirrel.
Not my pic, it's from a couple blocks away. Notice the unhappy kitty.

That one is just a cub. Be glad momma bear didn't come over...
Exactly right, Larry. He was kinda cute, IMO. However, he was in an area of kids, etc. Poor thing made a bad choice. I felt bad for him. He was put down.
