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

Fuzzy ol' trash potatoes. Wonder where they're coming in from?
Used to see them all the time growing up. Had a mom and two cubs who would wander through the neighborhood dumpster-diving in early October. They'd come back every year.

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.
