[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1693385, member: 24816"] I think they are expanding their range quite a ways more than most realize. Probably around 15 years a bear ran out in front of somebody raking hay on our farm. Scared them silly. Several more sightings around that time on other farms. The word from the state was that they were just young males that had wandered there. Couldn’t be that they were populating and spread from adjoining counties where they are known to be and the Be Bear Aware signs are prevalent. In more recent years we have seen mothers and cubs several times. A month or so ago we were looking for a cow with a new calf and my wife caught a glimpse of a big bear running towards the bushes and right after that saw a little one run up a tree. Earlier in the week we saw some huge footprints in the mud in branch that was drying up. We figured those tracks must be from a big male probably hanging close by that female. [/QUOTE]
