We were in Ormond Beach, Florida two weeks ago and a black bear was captured not too far from where we were staying.
People used to say there were no bears in southern Georgia too, until the DNR caught one in a Cracker Barrel trash dumpster right here in my town....and two weeks later one was hit by a car about ten miles out of town.
I guess you never know what's gonna come up outta the woods these days.
