Pretty crazy. What would you guess the size is? I mean, a bear is a bear. It appears to be young but I'm no expert.
Amen brother. Next time we hunt, you're walking in first, carrying the food

Is TWRA purposefully expanding the bear ranges?

I walk a few miles each day in my neighborhood and this morning I met a bear walking up the middle of the road.I got off the road in a nearby field and he went about his way on up the road!
That's the biggest chupacabra I've ever seen….. in Tennessee 
That's not a cub for sure, looks like a sow to me

Pretty animal. I grew up in NorthEastern NC where black bear sightings/run ins were pretty common. Haven't seen one in many years since moving to middle TN.
No kidding?!?! My great grandparents had a farm there. Killed my first turkey there. Still have family there. We hunt Hickman.
Pigs by far. With their reproduction rates it's impossible to keep their numbers down. Bears don't multiply at that rate.Not sure what is worse, bears or pigs

Thank goodness we don't have any hogs, that I know of, but we do have PLENTY of bear. The Unicoi bear reserve is full of them and TWRA NEEDS to allow the taking of a few every year or so. Laurel Fork and Kettlefoot bear reserves allow a few to be taken each year, but not in Unicoi for what ever reason. They have migrated down to the farm country and a few make it into town fairly regularly. People are complaining about their bird feeders getting torn down, garbage cans gotten into, bee hives raided etc.Not sure what is worse, bears or pigs
