I think they need to increase hunting season and maybe include some of the parks. Quite a few wondering off the reservation these days.

They don`t seem to be too concerned. Officals said it was a yearling driven out of its home range by momma. On it`s own for the first time.

The bear was in a sub division LOL I was listening on the scanner and a cop got the call. About 10 years ago I guess.

Unless they get acclimated to garbage they will go back into the wild. A lot of times they are young ones passin through.

Yea they'll eat about anything left out. I'm not sure where that one wondered in from. If it was from smokies he had to swim the Tennessee then Clinch river.

Yea as long as they don't get aggressive. If the Officer get them way back in the boonies again they'd likely be OK..

The one in Oak Ridge was on the wrong side of town.. Plenty of land for him west of town on the DOE/ DOD reservation.
