i live in a northern part of sw connecticut. . my town is pretty rural and spread out over many miles. we have strict zoning and many designated scenic roads
i'm always a little worried doing yard work or having my back turned for too long in a heavily wooded section of my propertry, thinking i'm going to run into something..i wasn't outside when this black bear came rolling though, but i watched from the window.
i snapped a pic too late, as the bear was far away and it looks like a bigfoot photo
here is a video of one a few years ago on a neighboring road from me. this sighting not that far from the elementary schools, which they lock down when they get a report of it.
