I live in Putnam County in Southeast NY and in the past 5 years or so there have been reports/sightings of bears in the area. At first I thought this was ridiculous, but recently I heard that a bear was captured in Westchester County by the DEC and then released in Ninham Mtn State Forest, which is right next to Fahnestock SP. A few people I know who live near there have been telling me that there is a bear going in their garbages. Over the past few years it seems like the black bear range has been expanding in NY. Does anyone else know anything about this?
