Some of our older members who were around in the early 1900s maybe able to tell us. What do you say @Deer Slayer @dennishoddy @MacFromOK just kidding guys.
There was a sighting of a young one around Savoy, TX (south of Durant) a few years back.
Bears happen...

I have seen 2 down in my neck of the woods in Pontotoc county. Saw a Elk at the end of my drive on the tree line a year back.
Its a wild world.

Years ago, I saw a bear track up over the hill in the woods behind my house. It was either a bear track or the biggest, squarest dog print I've ever seen. Never saw a bear to go with it, though.
OMG - the comments on the media articles on this that are on my FB page are overflowing with Wailing Wilmas so totally overwrought about why couldn't they sedate and relocate the bear, choosing instead to just KILL IT! Facts be damned - let's let tear ducts and hurt feelings rule until the day when the bear eats their little Fluffy while the dog is pooping in the backyard. Then they'll be down on ODWC about "their bear" attacking defenseless little fuzzball canines.
A couple here appear to think it was handled incorrectly. Not quite as bad as wailing Wilma.
Up in Colorado, they set out traps for the bear. When the catch them, they end up "tagging" them somehow, and if the bear shows up again after being relocated, then they are euthanized.
BBBQ time...
Bear is some good eating. Haven’t tagged one my self but a friend who is an avid hunter cooked some up and boooooy was it goodBBBQ time...
