NOT confirmed by the DNR.  

  
     
     
     
 


1 April 2011 - Friday;  I was out walking my dogs in the morning and saw bear tracks. They went all the way up our driveway and around the cottage.  They had to have come the night before, or very early Friday morning.

Several sightings up near IRONS, Cheryl who works in town tells how her husband was driving down “37” at night and nearly hit, (just missing) a very large 400-500 pound BEAR as it crossed his path.  He had to swerve, and barely missed it.
