Poll for my high school ecology project

I saw a cub laying dead on the side of a road a decade or so ago. I assume it was a car kill. I called it in to the DNR. They said that they would pick it up if it was still where I told them it was and mount it for educational purposes. 

So Badger, Do you have results yet? Or to early?

I’ve read that when a bear is very ill, it will take shelter or cover till it recovers or dies. So if it dies, bones are hidden undercover or shelter. They also take shelter when ill to protect themselves from attacks on 3 sides.
Just one side of story.

Short answer...people.

Zero...and I must ask why not?

Same as dead Bigfoots....none.

Zero.   Contact your county DNR wildlife biologist for more data.

Everybody answered the same so far. What is the reason ? 

0

 Zero times, 52 years of hunting all over the state.

0, with many, many days afield in bear country. I’ve observed one road kill bear on 51 near Wausau. 

0 for me but wonder what the hypothesis is for the survey.

0

0, DIY hunted bear for 10 years, have helped others track and haul other bears, nothing in that regard.  Hope we are able to help in your project!!!
