I see that the hunting regulations guide lists the northern zone for bears to be Carroll County and those counties north. I've lived in Carroll my entire 54 years and never encountered a bear here. We do hear every now and then of people seeing one but that is usually in the early summer months and we figure it is just a young male wandering down from the mountains. I'm wondering how and why Carroll made the list for the bear season, and if any one ever gets a bear here, or even in one of our northern neighboring counties such as Paulding or Haralson? Has anyone heard of any kind of sustainable population of them in this area in the last 100 years?
