Wandering Black Bear Confirmed in St. Joseph County
- Details
(Provided by Indiana DNR)
Indiana DNR wildlife biologists today confirmed the presence of a wild black bear in northern Indiana after the bear walked in from Michigan.
The DNR received reliable reports earlier in the week of the wandering bear northwest of South Bend in St. Joseph County and made the confirmation after wildlife biologist Budd Veverka examined waste material submitted to the DNR and identified it as bear scat.
ì"With black bears in some surrounding states, we were expecting a bear to show up eventually," said Mitch Marcus, Wildlife Section chief for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. "It's quite unusual and exciting for a Michigan lakeshore black bear to move this far south. Michigan DNR officials told us this is the southernmost black bear movement in more than a decade."
Although there have been occasional unconfirmed reports of bears in Indiana, this is the first verified presence of a bear in the state in more than 140 years.

Early Vintage Heddon reels valued by collectorsWhile Heddon is most famous for its lure creations, most people don’t realize that the company offered fishing reels in its catalogs as early as 1905.
These early Heddon reels were made by another other reel companies who stamped the Heddon name on them.
Heddon began making its own reels in 1920 after they lured a famous reel maker named Jack Welch away from the Talbot Reel Company located in Kansas City. Jack got things going!
The company’s first in-house reel was the model 3-15 (1920-27), a non level-wind reel made of German silver. The name German silver is misleading as there is no silver in the metal.
