Florida wildlife officials learned this years ago.

Bears relocated always return ‘home’, even 500 miles away.

Now they just euthanize nuisance bears.................

Wild bears who learn to look to humans for food should be put down.

Its not like blank bears are a threatened species.

A heart-warming story, and one that bears repeating.

Bears get a free pass in National Parks, just like the veterans do.

...and nabbing food from picnicpick-n-nick tables

That's the proper form. Where bears are referenced. :-/

But they cannot do that with repeater illegals.

1,000 miles from the Great Smokies, part of which are in Tennessee, from Cherokee National Forest, which is in Tennessee?

Bryson City, N.C. (Just South of main body of the GSNP), to Hampton, Tenn, (the Northern most part of Cherokee NF)... 132 miles.

Rule one: Don't feed them or leave food lying around your campsite. That teaches bears that humans are a source of food, which can lead to dangerous interactions and the need for relocations.

Or worse...
