Ohio’s ‘wandering bears’ signal a possible comeback for the species Black bears could be making a comeback in Ohio after virtually disappearing in the mid-1800s. According to the Ohio Division of Wildlife, sightings have sharply increased since 2022. More than 1,500 sightings have been reported, mostly in rural areas near West Virginia and Pennsylvania. In 2025, there were 537 sightings in 69 counties. Experts say the rise in sightings could be due to both more bears and more cameras capturing them.
