okay, i live out here, its great hunting land yes. Bears are out here, all over green mountain, and all over the timberland. There is also a ton of brush pickers, hikers, mushroom pickers, other hunters(mostly deer season), all outdoor sports. sometimes you get away from people. There are houses, so watch out. Now there was a 500 LB bear shot out here about 5 years ago now, they do exsis but dealing with people is more of the issue.
