Yes, i have seen plenty of them and seeing more now than ever..I have had them come up on the porch at the house..they used to come every night and eat up all the food they could get too andover the years they have killed nine of our goats..I put up a electric fence and that keeps them out..there is so much building going on that the bears come into town to eat.yup tere is way too many bears around and they need to open the season back up for hunters to thin them out..
