Pennsylvania has some huge black bears. 600 pounds plus.
When I live in PA (my first 50 years) we had bears in our back yard everyday through July-Aug because the huckleberries were ripe on top of the mile long hill we lived on. They would cross the road above our drive way and hoof it on up the hill on the other side of the road.
We had a big bore that visited me often. He would come up on our deck and look in the kitchen window at us when he was alone.
Usually he had about 4-5 females with him and they weren't all that friendly, A lot of distrust in their eyes. They probably had been shot at before.
That big old bore though didn't seemed bothered by me. I'd be out working on my garden tractor in the back yard and he would come up through the woods into my yard and usually take a break there. He would acknowledge me and I would him. He seemed to always want to make sure I made eye contact with him.
He didn't bother me and I didn't bother him, we just tolerated each other almost to a point where we were almost comfortable around each other.
He eventually got shot in bear season and dressed out at 609lbs, he was the third largest black bear shot in PA at that time.
I doubt I would ever "almost" trust a bear again, that one was just, well, different.
