4J Bears

[SilentStalker]

Saw a bear this June at my house in Slingerlands, NY. Likely a 1.5 YO who just got the boot from Mom is commonplace around here every year.

However, my cams just snapped a few pics of either the same or another one on 8/3. Hard to tell as he was trying to eat the cams as they love to do.   

Anyone have similar experiences with bears sticking around a more Suburban than rural setting this far into the summer? I never expected to see one around this late. Thought it was cool.

I have known bears to be in 4-J, and your area in particular, well into the fall. As long as they can find food, and no bigger bears are beating them up, they may stick around awhile.

we have very few bears up in 4C. People do take some but not in large numbers. If ones around the orange army spots them. Down here in Albany where I work I feel like there much more common. Dumpster bears I call them. Not long ago DEC "relocated" a nuisance bear for the 3rd and last time close to the SUNY Albany campus.
