Hudson Valley Residents - Bear Encounters On Property

Stories about bear encounters in the HV? Hi all, I'm writing a story for a local print magazine (HERE Journal) about how bears and humans are overlapping in the Hudson Valley, and would love to talk to someone who has maybe had an interesting story about running into a bear or more frequent encounters with bears on their property. If anyone would be ok with me including their experience, please share below or let me know, thanks! https://preview.redd.it/kwa44x9u7rgh1.png?width=390&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f16380cfaac9a372d00323a34c328025429e772
