I be goin' shortly to the Smoky Mountains where apparently, they have black bears. They explain it's the brown bears I should worry about.

If I see one, do I stroke it or shoot it with my specially purchased American gun.

I live surrounded by black bears. They're nothing to worry about. Just leave 'em alone and they'll leave you alone.

@CountScrofula the biggest critter we have to deal with are mountain lions ... no bears .

@TexChik Mountain Lions are a lot more bitey!

@CountScrofula yes they fuss a lot ! It’s easy to tell when they are around . All the other animals act differently . We’ve shot several. They keep eating my big bucks !
