I absolutely can't believe it!! A bear was spotted by my mail man 1/8 of a mile from my house. Never to my knowledge has there ever been a bear spotted where I live. 10 years or so ago a few bear tracks have been seen but never an actual bear has been seen. I'm located in Central Minnesota, bear are normally 2 hours north of here. The main population is about 3+ hours north. He looks to be in that 180lb range right now, by fall he should be around 240lbs I bet. I took some pictures of the bear, I was directly underneath the tree he is in.
