Males will travel a long ways In the spring time looking for females, farther then most think. However this bear In Illinois Is said to possibly be a captive bear from someone which means It most likely wasn't a wild bear to begin with.
Exactly what I would have guessed!
Steve, you may know the figures but I don't think it's unusual for Bear to travel between 50 to 100 miles in search of females in Bear country.
