Here in Pa they eat alot of grubs and insects as well as berries. You'll find alot of rocks flipped over on the mountains and they'll eat anything that's under them. They also will take whitetail fawns as they are the biggest predator of fawns here in Pa. They also graze on grass in the fields. It's almost as if they'll eat anything that fits in their mouths and is edible.
They are also hitting bird feeders here in PA. Had one at camp that was totally destroyed by a bear. I also had 5 gallons of veggie oil from the cooker in a container he/she ripped apart.
