First Bear of the Season, Maryland

[Cal Sibley]

That's terrific news. I'm originally from Maryland and left about 32 years ago. Black bear were unheard of then even in south western Maryland. If I recall that's where Mt. Nebo is isn't it in the southern part of Garrett county? I hope you guys will manage them carefully so the population will grow. I accidently ran into a small one some years ago. We were on opposite sides of a ridge line, and both reached the top at about the same time. It was hard to tell who was the most scared, me or that little 50lb.bear. Congratulations and best wishes.
