The account
In the BFRO's November 2026 state counts, the Appalachian states add up to well over a thousand reports: Ohio 336, Georgia 147, Pennsylvania 134, New York 123, Kentucky 118, Tennessee 112, North Carolina 110, West Virginia 108, Alabama 103, Virginia 91 and Maryland 35 (whole-state totals, not only the mountains).
The sceptical view
The counts are reports screened by volunteers, not confirmed animals. No body, bone or verified DNA has been produced.
