Two cops said they saw one in Franklinton a couple of weeks ago. Not saying they are full of it but my first thought was Pics or GTFO

Read where there is about 300 alone in the Tensas. About 600-700 statewide. That is quite a difference from the 150 or so that was estimated when I lived there.

I had another one with a collar on him as well but can't find it


A friend of mine has some pics of one on their lease in the same area. As for the collar, mdwfp has a bear program link on their website where you can track their movement. Most of them appear to just travel up and down the river.

We had 1 (male) swim across the Tennessee river in 2008. Ended up in Athens, Alabama where an over-anxious cop shot it. I've seen obvious signs in Tensas, but no bear.
