I heard this on the radio earlier this morning & now just reading about it .
" Suspicions of a black bear wandering around a section of Fairfield County were confirmed when the body of a year-and-a-half-old male black bear was discovered Wednesday morning.
It surprised Fairfield County Sheriff's Office Lt. Alex Lape to hear that the 168-pound bear had been hit by a motorist along the U.S. 33 bypass near Ross Road, but he said this isn't the first mention or sighting of black bears in the area."
