Hope theyre not hurt too bad..sucks for the bike..

Ouch

You would think maybe now... but probably not

Should be a bear crossing sign to warn the motorists to slow down.

I wonder if the landowner permission required thing will make this tough. I'm certain it's a boom to the deer herd down there. Heck, up here in MA, the areas with the CT ish deer numbers are in the same situation - written landowner permission - but via town bylaws vs state wise laws.

Never thought about it relative to bears. With deer, it's awesome for those choosing to hunt private, and good for those of us hunting public only because the higher deer numbers meander around. In other words, my little honey holes on public land in the NE corner are aided by the private land in the area.

With bears though, if hunting is limited in a similar way, I wonder if hunting could have a solid effect on population? I'd like to think so, but I wonder...

Regardless, you all have a zillion (feels like) down there. I was happy the healthy one I saw walking out last deer season in Ashford was as startled of me as I was him and ran down the hill side away from me, phew! My summit would have made me seem crispy to him any way :)

Saw one Sunday up here fly fishing on a popular C and R river here in North Central MA, it stayed on the other side of the river thankfully... I was glad its a pretty big river (the Millers).

They are getting pretty bold in some areas...
