Bear found scavenging on the remains of a dead man in the Great Smoky Mountains

[Steve Molcsan]

Bigs cats and bears have always been an issue in my neck of the woods. I stay aware
knowing that cats have been seen in the neighborhood as well as
two my son spotted last year near the well house. Not uncommon to see deer or whats left
eaten near the house. Bear scat as well.
I suspect with the Yosemite area fires close by, more wildlife will migrate towards us.
Food and water we just got to have it..

I appreciate this thread as it has me on high alert especially in the evenings during these
times...
