A Texas outdoor writer tracking bear attacks across North America has counted 64 attacks that caused injury or death so far in 2026, among more than 70 documented encounters, according to Cowboy State Daily. Mike Dickerson, 71, calls the year unprecedented. His list is an independent compilation from news alerts, agency reports and social media, not an official count from any wildlife agency.
