There was one incident, that I recall, where this happened in what some refer 
to as "the Catskills" but which are not within the Catskill Mountains 
according to the map.  It was in the region south of the Catskill Mountains by some 
30-50 miles.  Of course it could have happened elsewhere as well.  Food to a 
hungry bear is perceived on a variety of levels.  They seek nourishment and are 
omnivores without regard to humanity or vegetation.  Hunger in the wild can be 
a terrible thing.
