I know a guy who owns a farm in Crossville and they're covered up in bears. They get them on all their trail cameras. If you look on a map it's only 25-30 miles so I would imagine they are starting to expand their ranges.

Im sure there getting a little help expanding. I heard the twra officer in the area said 2 bears were released on the wma. I was just wondering if they had been released in other areas.

I CANT believe there are bears at pea ridge. That blows my mind. My farm is very close to there.
Question: How would deer on my property react to a bear? I assume it would run the deer off since they prob have never seen a bear.

If you had a good population of black bears, the fawns might take a beating, but the adults.....No Problem there. Watch them in Cade's Cove some time. The deer give the bears a wide berth, but they don't leave the area.

I hunt on a bear reserve quite a bit. Doesn't seem to bother the deer. I do however, see way more bears than deer.
