We have a big family of deer that cross through our back property all the time.......as this used to be apple orchards. It seems to be an inbred "memory" generation through generation........to return to where the apples were. They are beautiful to watch after a fresh snowfall.

Don't know about the VT bears but the NY bears do attack. The girl who did my hair actually chased one who stole her beer. I know people with scars from bears. They are a danger to pets.

Perhaps the VT bears don't attack, maybe they got into a stash, who knows.
