Bears in Allegany State Park?

[Rev Ev]

Anyone been seeing any bears down this way?

I used to when i used to hunt the park

My girlfriend and I almost hit one on interstate 86 just before passing over the reservoir heading eastbound a couple of years ago. I know they have bear crossing signs just east of Falconer now too.

there are bears in the park just don't kill one

Most state parks let you harvest Deer, but Not Bear. I have no idea why .....

my wife had one run into her van on 86 one night near the casino. said it looked like a big black wheelbarrow coming at her

are you sure it wasn't a bigfoot lol

Lots of bears around but i believe still illegal to kill in the park... (much better to spend our tax dollars to trap and relocate them so they can be shot elsewhere...)

I was just down there and unsurprisingly it is still illegal to shoot them. no one can give me a clear answer why. even more, finding land to hunt around the park i have found to be impossible.
