There were two bears killed in the Buffalo area in the past two weeks. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come or just two young bears that ventured too far North and were killed by vehicles. Here's an article that was just published in the Buffalo News... www.buffalonews.com/377/story/684227.html

Just a matter of time now. Been seeing sign right up the road from you for several years now. Probably had one pass through you backyard at one time already. Actually seen a young one about 2 years ago on Emery by the park while there was a baseball game going on!

Sorry guys but I'm going to have to say the bear killed in the city wasn't hit by a car... I'm thinking somebody poached it and was transporting when it fell out of the back of a truck. If you hit a deer on the highway you stop.. If you hit a 100 pound bear you will definately stop and have to call AAA or the ambulance. I don't think it is possible for a car on a busy highway to hit a rock solid bear at 55+ mph and not have extensive damage to their vehicle... it seems fishy to me

People hit 100 lb deer all the time in my city and call when they get home....It is possible. If a semi hit the bear, it would be lights out.

Having only ever hit 2 deer in my driving time.... they actually hit me. Dented up the side of the truck pretty good and upon the return trip home seen them dead on the shoulder of the road. I aint callin my insurance company over that ...and I'm definately not pulling over on the thruway in 70mph traffic less I just ran over a person Even then it would be an iffy judgement call
