big bear track.

[kerchner]

This bear was in my yard two days ago and turned over my garbage cans. his rear paw measures nearly 9 inches in length and his front paw is nearly 7 inches wide. i have done some research and found that add 1 to the width of the front paw and that total is roughly the hide squared making him nearly 8 ft. i havent seen him but pa. bear season is in a couple of weeks and you never know??
