Many small towns in Wisconsin are reporting black bears in recent years Marilyn. When our kids were small we lived on 20 wooded acres and we never saw bears in the yard, but had evidence of them in the trees very near it. Different neighbors reported having seen them.
Usually they're not a big threat as they're very shy, but when they have cubs it's a whole different ballgame. We also have coyotes, wolves and recently the DNR has been said to be re-introducing mountain lions to the state.
