re: Since bears have been in the news lately. Have you ever seen one

Franternity trip to Pigeon Forge in the Smokey mountains 2012. Had to take the steaks off the grill and chase a mamma black bear off the porch with pots and pans. Two cubs scurried up the trees and watched while we yelled at their mamma. Friend tried to feed a raccoon by hand later that night out of the hot tub and got bit. Had to do a round of rabies vaccinations….. great weekend.
