My place in Southwest Virginia is loaded with bear. They are also seen this time of year because its basically the bear rut. Mating is going on and the sows are running off the 2 year old cubs to mate again. Those 2 year old's are wondering around lost without momma. Saw 4 over 4th of July while sitting on my porch. Posted this pic a while back. By far the biggest I've seen around. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/OJCuhLB.jpg)

Interesting.
Lots of bear here.
Bears marking my pasture, eating berries, digging up yellow-jacket nests, and otherwise doing proper bear things.
They don't bother the horse. But I don't keep sweet smelling grain around, just hay.
I keep my garbage closed up in the garage though.

Not as bad as introducing Muslims and Mexicans or whatever. If you get to many bears they put a season on them. Edk Well LDWF needs to do just that have a season on them, in my area we are overrun with bears & hogs. In Louisiana hogs are "shoot on sight" day or night at least on private property, but if you shoot a bear it's most likely jail. If you shoot one thinking it's a hog you better walk off and not entertain any questions if the law shows up. I made lots of cases because someone would say "can I just tell you what happened".

Are you saying that you were in Gatlinburg in mid-July? You should become an investigator. You are good at this. He's also a song writer apparently. 🤣

I hear it's like a $10k plus fine If you convicted for shooting a bear. A few times deer hunting they come in the area and hang around and ruin my hunt gets me mad enough to shoot all of them.

Lots of bears in the Smokies. They’re quite fond of old saloons and streets of mud.

Farmer told me to shoot every beer I saw when I was out deer hunting. He said his backhoe would clean up.
I can only imagine what a bear would do to the average chicken coup.

got back from Gatlinburg a few days ago
been going there for almost 20 years and never saw a bear. The past two times we've gone, we've seen bear. Yeah, I heard they're pretty good at hiding behind the billboards. I'm a sucker for that town. I think its mandatory that Ohio people go there. And drive right through the center of town at 1:00 p.m.
