It might even be marked by a bear s urine scent. It is rare that you will come in contact with a bear unless you live near bear country or you vacation at campgrounds in the northern part of Wisconsin. Bears can be seen looking for food in places where scrap or leftover food is thrown out, such as at a dump. They are also becoming more common in suburban areas as people move their homes closer to bear habitat and bears come looking for food. Sometimes bears can damage crops or cause damage to your home or property as they search for food.
Black bears are actually quite healthy and long-lived animals which thrive in Wisconsin. .
