I’m not too far from you. I’m between Maryville, Tennessee and the mountains. Live along a river. Same type of stuff here. We’ve only have a little more than an acre, but thus far I’ve gotten pictures of deer, red fox, gray fox, bobcat, beaver, otter, Canada goose, mallards, wood ducks, flying squirrel, raccoons, opossum, great blue heron, turkeys, and more. Still no bear pictures yet. We have had them on the property, but not often. We are still a couple of miles from the mountains. Lots of fun. Great area to live.
No bear pics? I’ve had a couple of trail cams that were supposed to be invisible infrared flash but I think bears can see it because I always got shots of a big double barrel nose smelling the cameras. The elk, deer, wolves, antelope, coyotes all ignored them but not the bears. Those broke and I hung a new one last week, we’ll see how it behaves.
