Well, it isn’t really ‘normal’, I’m talking about one or two individuals per year, and it usually makes the news so they can remind people to stay away. They’re probably just expanding their territory to find food before hibernation or something. But then again I have no idea what kind of territory bears usually have. There’s lots of quiet wooded places north and west of the city, it wouldn’t surprise me if some of those had a few year-round. Last year there was one in Kingsville, which is almost to 95 NE of the city.
