What's some ideas to keep them away. I have a non hunting friend in sevier co and he's having trouble with them coming around his house. I asked him if he has outside pets and he said no . He is just noticing them coming around his house at night.

A BIG dog. Works at my house.
He is doing something to attract them.

First, clean up all outside garbage. They usually have no problem tearing the screen off a window and can end up in your house.

Catch the black panther that's roaming middle TN, and set him loose near the house.

Tell him to clean his grill! If he has a gas grill outside, they can smell it from a tremendous distance. During the fall when bears are in hyperphagy, they will investigate any possible food source.
