I live in SW PA and am likely to see 1 bear a year if I am lucky. This year I have been hunting in MD near Frostburg. In the last 3 weeks, between my dad, brother and I, we have seen 4 different bears in approx. a half sq. mile area. Every trip down we are seeing bears or fresh sign. I'm no expert, but this seems to be a pretty high concentration for a mostly forest area. JMO
