SLIDER0906 this bear is in PA, Not Ohio
but even here in PA where we have LOTS of bears
very few people really get to see them in the woods
bears are very very smart critters and have a nose much better than a deers
so 99% of the time a bear will avoid you long before you get close enough to see one
well Minus the one's l;ike this that learnd to feed out of bird feeders and the likes
but most WILD bears living off the land, and not peoples hand outs, will seldom be seen by people
so its not suprising that if bears are in your area , taht you do not see them, there a very nocturnal animal in areas with lots of people too! making it even harder for you to see while hunting deer and likes
