Bear Track? Southern Lancaster Co.

Instead of going to the gym for a noontime workout, I went for a hike on some public grounds in southern Lancaster County. Lots of tracks for deer, foxes, some yotes. And also this track. I think it is a bear but wanted to get your opinion. It was cool to find, single animal. I got to thinking that said bear must be hungry if moving out of den with the cold temperatures. Glad we did not meet in person. Your thoughts on ID: bear?

Sasquatch track.

Mountain Lion... PGC stocked them to reduce the deer herd..

Yes bear track, I saw some over in New Jersey last week in low 20 degree temps.

Yeah, they come out of hibernation more than you would think! We tend to think of bears as true hibernators which they are not. Most come out of their dens every couple weeks. Got that from a WCO in Pike Co. that used to trap lots of em and had many radio collared every year that he kept track of.

A few years ago I saw one cross the road mid-morning on a rainy January day.

Oh no a bear track in Lancaster co. Quick better add another bear season.

So Chuck, you think a breeding bear population in Lancaster County would be good? About as much good as one in Pittsburgh.

Not my job to think about breeding bear populations.

No Chuck, just add 5B to the list(2B,5C and 5D) for early archery bear season! ;-)

I want, I want, I want..........

LOL! :)

I agree Perry. Bears should be open in any deer season there.

Has Steve Mohr been around again??

There are breeding populations in the Pittsburgh area.

LMBO Jen! :)
