Bears in Topsail Hill State Park Florida
Just got back today from a 16 day vacation at Topsail Hill State Park Florida and had several reported ranger or camper reported bear sightings in and around the campground area or on the shuttle road...

They pass through here infrequently but five or six, seen each year. If one or two settle in the cove, I won't tell anyone but neighbors.
Neighbor has cows and would be concerned with calves. So long as they don't come on the porches and bother Garfield, I'll leave them alone.
Several years ago there was an article about a town in Pa that ha bears sleeping under porches and houses as an ordinary thing. those Folks must have been educated in the ways of bears. Like Humans they can go either way sometimes but so long as they respect/fear you you're safe.
When they start popping those jaws better get away quick or raise that rifle.
If they know of bad consequencies if they bother you then you're generally safe. My limits are probably more lenient than others should be. I'm not going out into the yard or woods with a bear without a weapon though.
