We had a literal mountain top home at grandfather mountain for 30 years
We had to have bear proof garbage cans
My Doberman would go crazy at the back window and bears would be at the window snarling at him lol
U were careful going outside at night
This bear is crossing dense urban sprawl to get to where he’s going unless he turns east
I mean he’s 5-6 miles into the high pop city area as of yesterday
I assume he’ll show up today
Prolly on lower broad headed to kid rocks club
Seriesly the two bear pockets near here are cheatham county wildlife refuge and fort Campbell
He’ll have to swim the Cumberland for that
Cheatham is much closer and 25,000 acres very dense and rugged
He thinks he’s a coyote I guess
I lived on a mountain top right between Mount Mitchell and the Roan Mountain. We had bears and mountain lions often. But it’s nothing like what my MIL is experiencing in her suburb setting.
Stayed in a cabin in Gatlinburg called “Baby Black Bear”.
True to it’s name, one walked onto the porch.
