One was in a dumpster at the Jena courthouse and I saw a small one near a pond and blackberry patch in Belah near Jena.

Thank you LPB. Ms. Davidson is a cool lady. It now looks strange to see people without masks and social distancing. Best wishes Bob.

I truly enjoyed watching your informational documentary. Your conservation efforts will ensure the survival of these bears in your beautiful state.
It was very interesting watching and listening to how you all handle bears. I've lived my entire life in central PA.. and we too had to act in order to ensure that the black bear would be around for generations to come. Nowadays Pennsylvania boast a healthy bear population of somewhere between 16,000 to 20,000 animals. Something my grandparents never experienced in their time.
Definitely goes to show just how well these bears do if we all pitch in and do our part.
Thanks for sharing this video!
