Bears everywhere

A White County deputy ran over one last week just south of Cleveland,and last Wed. I had one run out in front of me at the Dollar General here in Cleveland.This was 1:30 in the afternoon.The north bound car was almost decorated with a bear rug.This time last year I had a huge bear come up in my back yard.For some reason they start roaming this time of year.I probably seen 8-9 bears last August between scouting and just riding WMA roads.

i'm not gonna have to go to the higher elevations to hunt. I had one drag all my trash out last night from our container for trash pickup.The neighbors said they have seen him and he looks about 300 to 350 lbs. Just curious, will hunting over my trash be considered hunting over bait. Just kidding on the last statement.

That track does look small in the pic, but it was a nice set of tracks...not the biggest I've seen but certainly from a shooter bear in my book (anything over 150).

Rich Mtn. WMA has a very good population as well.
There is alot of land on the Gilmer side to hunt that should not be too busy with hunters. I'll be there
