Really, plenty?
Wonder why they're rear in Mo.

Where we go is in East Tennessee and it's famous for the abundance of bear, like its common to just see bear while driving and sometimes in town. Everything is bear themed too lol

I hit a bear with my van while driving around dusk a few years ago here. I saw it dash across the road median but I was going about 65 & couldn't stop in time. It rolled down embankment on side of road, so not sure if it survived or not, but it left huge claw marks on my bumper

 

[R2elk]

No to both. I have smelled a bear.

I have had a bear "woof" at me.

 

[jxp]

Yes to both. Black bears, brown bears, grizzlies, moose, elk, reindeer, bobcat, lynx, mountain lions, mountain goats, mountain sheep, bald eagles, golden eagles, at least 4 different types of hawks, and a whole slew of fluffy critters further down the food chain.

I need to amend this. I've seen reindeer at a farm outside of Anchorage but in the wild, they're caribou. Those I've seen in Denali.

I’ve seen a bear but not a moose

Reindeer and caribou are the same thing.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Both

Reindeer and caribou are the same thing.

That's what I said.

 

[azurbanclucker]

That's what I said.

But they're also reindeer in the wild? That's what they call 'em in Europe.

I guess I am saying I don't think you need to correct yourself, you were right either way.
