Any advice about what to do if you encounter a Fl black bear while out walking your dog? Most dogs I know would start barking at the bear as soon as they saw it. Personally, I am just not going to go out with the dog near dawn nor dusk when the black bear is supposedly active.

From looking at a map of the Villages, this black bear sighting around June 20, 2012 is just northeast of the Winifred/Belvedere traffic circle off of Buena Vista Blvd. It is looking east on Kingston Way.
Going back to the FL black bear, has anyone seen anything in local papers about bear sightings in the Villages? This would be the Villages Daily Sun, the Ocala Star-Banner, the Orlando Sentinel and the Leesburg Daily Commercial. Could show up in some other periodicals too like the POA Bulletin. http://www.poa4us.org/
