I dont live in America, but in Asia, but everything online I’ve seen makes it seem like bears are everywhere in America, same with deer and moose, they makes it seems like they could walk into your lawn or backdoor everyday, or you could run across deers and moose on the street anytime, or you could meet a bear everytime you go for a hike.
我不住美国，住在亚洲，但网上看到的一切都让我觉得美国遍地是熊，鹿和驼鹿也是，搞得好像它们每天都能溜达进你家草坪或后门，街上随时能撞见鹿和驼鹿，每次去徒步都能遇上熊似的。
So how dangerous is the bear problem and how common is it to come across a bear in America?
那么熊的问题到底有多危险？在美国撞见熊有多常见？

As usual with questions about America, it is extremely location dependent.
跟所有关于美国的问题一样，这事儿极其看地方。

Mountain towns in California, especially near lakes, most garbage cans are locked up because bears break into them.
加州的山城小镇，尤其是湖边的，大多数垃圾桶都是上锁的，因为熊会翻进去。

Lol. I live an hour from Boston in the woods.
哈哈。我住在离波士顿一小时车程的林区。
Some people do not know to take their bird feeders down as soon as they are done hibernation.
有些人不知道熊一结束冬眠就该把喂鸟器收起来。
It keeps them always milling around.
这让熊老在附近转悠。
My husband, when I wasn't home, found the suet one summer and hung it up. He never has and I haven't given him the run down. The very same night a bear came up on my deck and pulled it down and took it with him.
我不在家的时候，我老公有一年夏天发现了那块喂鸟板油(suet)，就挂了出去。他以前从没挂过，我也没跟他科普过。结果当天晚上就有一只熊爬上我家露台，把它扯下来叼走了。
That was like 5-6 years ago.
那大概是五六年前的事了。
Just a couple days ago he came and climbed up to see if there was anything in that spot. (I only had bird nesting material).
就在前几天，它又跑来爬上去看那个位置还有没有吃的。（我当时只放了鸟类筑巢的材料）。
They must have an amazing memory for where they find food.
它们对在哪儿找到过食物的记忆力一定惊人。

Completely depends on location. In New York City, never, unless you're at the zoo. In the mountains of Virginia where I live, it wouldn't be unusual to see one or two a year. Avid outdoorspeople would likely see more.
完全看地方。在纽约市，绝不可能，除非你在动物园。在我住的弗吉尼亚州山区，一年看到一两只不算稀奇，热爱户外的人可能会看到更多。

Vulpix_lover · 2026-08-02 18:25
It is absolutely a possibility, and i've definitely ran into those animals at one point or another in New England alone. How frequent it is really depends on where you are and how close to civilization you are
这绝对有可能，光在新英格兰(New England)我就确实撞见过好几次这些动物。频率高低真的取决于你在哪儿，以及离文明社会有多近。

Hahaha, it's not too uncommon to run into a bear in CT. I remember walking out of the house to go into the backyard and saw two black bears chilling in our pool. Naturally I noped the fuck out.
哈哈哈，在康涅狄格州(CT)撞见熊不算太稀罕。我记得有次走出房门去后院，看见两只黑熊在我家泳池里悠闲泡澡。我当然是当场撒丫子跑了。
In all seriousness though, black bears aren't really too much of a threat safety wise.
不过说真的，黑熊在安全方面其实算不上什么大威胁。

If you ask my husband, absolutely impossible. That man has been trying to see a bear in the wild for as long as I've known him. But in truth not too difficult, I saw a bunch when I was a kid every year at girl scout camp.

you can run across a deer almost anywhere, even in a urban area, especially in the Midwest, it’s relatively common,
鹿几乎在哪儿都能碰上，甚至在城区里，尤其在中西部，相当常见。
Moose can only be found in Northern climates and the are relatively solitary and you generally don’t run across them unless you’re looking for them.
驼鹿只在北方寒冷地区才有，而且它们是独居动物，一般来说除非你专门去找，否则碰不上。
You wanna see a bear? walk 20 ft into any wooded area and open a candy bar. they’ll find you
想看熊？随便找片树林走进去20英尺，拆开一块巧克力棒，它们会自己找上门来。

Old_Ant7118 · 2026-08-02 18:26
Depends on where you are. Several types of bears in different parts of the country. Deer are pretty much everywhere. Many, many Americans have never seen a wild moose, they're exclusive to the north.
看你在哪儿。全国不同地方有好几种熊。鹿基本哪儿都是。很多、很多美国人一辈子都没见过野生驼鹿，那是北方独有的。

There are **TWO (2)** types of bears: black bears and brown/grizzly.

Brown/grizzly are only found in the northern Rocky Mountain area. There are black bears scattered around the country, but they generally avoid humans.

My city is crawling with deer. Plants are categorized by how deer resistant they are. Basically you can planting any that flowers, because that’s just deer candy. No bears around here. But plenty of coyotes.

It really depends on what you’re into, and where you live. For lots of people it can be a pretty common thing just because of the area they live. For lots of people they will go their entire lives without seeing any kind of real wildlife.
真的取决于你的爱好和你住哪儿。对很多人来说，仅仅因为住的地区，这就可能是家常便饭。也有很多人一辈子都见不到任何真正的野生动物。

About 15 years ago, I saw, from half mile away, a black bear run across a highway from a forest on one side to a forest on the other side. That'd the only time I've personally run across a bear in 50+ years, not counting the zoo
大约15年前，我从半英里外看见一只黑熊横穿高速公路，从一边的森林跑到另一边的森林。这是我50多年里唯一一次亲眼撞见熊，动物园不算。

I grew up in Northern NJ 30 miles from Manhattan and have had them in our yard multiple times. A friend still lives in the area and recently sent me ring camera footage of a mama and two cubs strolling around. They also have to shut down the state park sometimes because of bears. They are around!
我在北新泽西长大，离曼哈顿30英里，熊进过我家院子好几次。一个朋友还住在那一带，最近发给我一段门铃摄像头拍的视频：一只熊妈妈带着两只幼崽在悠闲散步。有时候州立公园还得因为熊而关闭。它们就在附近！

It's very regional. My x once carried a baby bear in his backpack on a hike to place with a hibernating replacement mother (he works in conservation) there was some in the park a few miles from my house a few weeks ago, but I didn't see them. My mom hasn't seen a wild bear in probably 25 years.
地区差异很大。我前任有一次徒步时把一只小熊崽装在背包里，送去跟一只正在冬眠的代养母熊作伴（他干自然保护这行）。几周前离我家几英里的公园里也出现了熊，不过我没看见。我妈大概25年没见过野熊了。

HelloYourDream · 2026-08-02 18:29
Depends where you are. I’m in the Georgia suburbs and my small area news was abuzz a while back because a juvenile bear was in someones backyard. He came down from the mountains nearby. I couldve been within walking distance of him at one point. But it’s not common for this area
看你在哪儿。我在佐治亚州(Georgia)的郊区，前阵子我们小区的本地新闻炸锅了，因为有只亚成年熊进了别人家后院。它是从附近的山上下来的。有一阵它可能离我只有步行距离。但这对这地区来说不常见。

No-Carry4971 · 2026-08-02 18:30
Well that depends on where you are. If you spend a couple days in Yellowstone, you will probably see a bear. You could also spend 1000 years in a lot of places in America and never see a bear.
嗯，这取决于你在哪儿。你要是在黄石公园(Yellowstone)待几天，多半会看到熊。你也可以在美国很多地方待上1000年也永远见不到一只熊。

Unless you live in the woods in certain parts of the country, you’ll have to seek them out to see them. A tourist is almost never going to accidentally see a bear unless you’re hiking deep trails or specific areas where bears are likely.
除非你住在国内某些地方的林区，否则你得专门去找才能见到。游客几乎不可能意外撞见熊，除非你走很深的徒步路线，或者去熊出没概率高的特定区域。
