This bear likely headed to cheatham county wildlife area of 25,000 remote acres only 12 miles northwest of urban Nashville. These latest sightings are very urban like Yonkers or Buckhead or park cities Dallas. I guess it moves mostly at night on creek greenways. Folks pick them up fairly frequently near where I live in Williamson on trail cams near leipers fork or old Natchez trace. Always more bear and panthers than what experts admit to around . It likely came fairly close to us

“No, we don’t plan on euthanizing or moving or relocating the bear,” explained Tabitha Lavacot from the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency.

Animal control in most states tranquilize and relocate black bears that wander into cities from the forests. Cities are dangerous environments for bears and they shouldn't get too comfortable there, "a fed bear is a dead bear."

they can’t target black bears without including an equal number of brown and white, otherwise dat wud b ryacist.

We have black bears all over the place here...not news. A wildlife management friend told us he got a call from a woman in the next town over asking to collect a bear. He asked where she was calling from and with hesitation, told her that’s the area they relocate the bears to. Lol.

I see black bears pretty much weekly from April to December looking out my windows. Awesome to watch.

Even this bear is pissed at Garth Brooks.

My Mother In Law lives in an old, established suburb of Asheville, NC. They have bears all over the place: walking the sidewalks, sleeping in garages and carports. The residents all set their car alarms off before going out of the house to scare off any bears near their cars. This has been going on for several years.

We had one running the streets of our inner suburb here in the Boston area several weeks ago.

We are really getting swamped with coyotes these days. Two of them were howling on my front lawn recently. I back up to seven acres of conservation land...in a suburb, as dense as this one, this conservation land is a big attraction to wildlife. So we see it all.

What, does TN have just one black bear?
