Bear sightings happening in central Kentucky: What to know

SUMMARY: Central Kentucky has seen an increase in bear sightings recently, with bears appearing on roads and fields far from their usual mountain habitats. Young male bears typically roam into the Bluegrass region between June and September, exploring new territories. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife reports hundreds of sightings annually, especially near the eastern border and Kentucky River areas. Some bears, like one spotted in Berea, may be local residents. The presence of cicadas, a bear food source, might influence their movement this summer. Authorities advise residents to never approach bears and to secure trash to avoid attracting them, emphasizing preparedness over fear.

In just the past week, bears went over the mountains to see what they could see. Whether that be climbing across a fence in Versailles or across the interstate in Berea.
