Used to be less of them. Now they're anywhere with forests or right near forests in the Northeast. My region has some small mountains, but it's a stretch to call it a mountain area.

Weird. I though america had alot of urbanisation. Is your area becoming depopulated? Are they all moving south?

The US is far emptier than most of Europe. Though parts such as the Northeast aren't too different. But we have a lot of forest here, which is good wildlife habitat, while in Europe similar densities will often be farmland. Like Europe, most people don't live in rural areas, but there's plenty of empty area.

I'm near the center of a town. It's about 15 feet from my window to the border of the property going back. On one side, all there is between the next building is a driveway and a four foot wide strip of grass. The bear walked down the driveway.
