I'm not surprised you caught one that far south but either I'm having a hard time with scale in the pics or that's a pretty big fella. I'm surprised he's that big..

This bear looks lean/skinny as hell.




Or is my perspective skewed because the only black bears I've ever seen were in or near state/national parks where the black bears there have free government hand-out access to garbage cans??...

Phenomenon: That middle Georgia bear looks relatively lean/skinny.

Hypothesis: Lack of access to artificially protected national/state parks and/or residential cul-de-sacks and their garbage troughs, could play a factor in this.

Data: Black bears in or near national/state parks/subdivisions seem much less lean/skinny.....than the test bear.


Theory: frick Atlanta.

About 5 years ago, I was in Hamilton Co. Florida( two miles south of the Ga/Fl border) staying at my friends cabin at our fishing pond. Decided to go on a drunken dirt road cruise at 11pm one night. Cruising about 20 mph, a black bear came charging up out of a ditch about 30 yards ahead. He stopped in the middle of the road and briefly looked into our headlights and then took off straight down the middle of the road for about 100 yds with us following behind. Then it just darted back off the road into the pines.

Until then, I never really thought they lived that far south. But now I know.
