I found this bone in a central FL river last week. I believe it is an ulna but I cannot find a good match for it. Other fossils found were primarily Pleistocene mammals. If I need better pictures I will try to post them, these were taken with phone. Thanks!

 It does look more like human than anything else but seems too robust.

Most definitely does. Thanks. 

 

Looks most like Ursus to me.

It could be that. Here are some comparative pictures from different sources (arctos?):
