Not too thrilled about this new resident. First bear we have seen on our lease. He is pushing over large autumn olive bushes to get the red berries on top, dropping a deuce around some of my stands, and knocking my Trophy Rocks off stumps. Got a couple pics of deer freaking out when they picked up his scent.

How much do you think this bear weighs? Also, how likely is he to make this area his new home? We are hoping he moves on or goes back to wherever he came from.

A fiend of mine has hunted in Sevier County a few years and he told me once that they tend to move around a lot. Especially boars. This may be a boar.

Same here, but not only is Grundy county not in a bear hunt zone, it's not even listed as a county inhabited by bears. There is extreme drought underway in the SE corner of TN. I wonder if that is pushing bears west for food.

Actually, Grundy is part of the transitional zone. According to TWRA regs, we have a chance to harvest during archery only for deer, or we did this season. Mind if I ask what area in Grundy?

Because Im not really good at this Im guessing around 300 lbs?
Thats a big beast to me. I might have to kill it for fear of my life and family :rolleyes:
Is it possible for TWRA to give you written permission to kill it?

I have seen 2 really old bears that have been killed while I was on hunts in Canada.
One would not make it through that winter. Skin and bones, very few teeth, and lots of gray hair.
Both had very little fur covering their faces.
The other was still relatively healthy, except for a bullet hole. Lots of grey and little fur on face.
Would be nice to have known their ages.
I do have an older bear skull of a bear I took on Vancouver Island.
It still has both aging teeth in it. 19 7/16 skull, my best Bear.
