That's a good pic. I think the need for bear reserve's like I have close to me. Have without a doubt passed its price prime 10 years ago. They are huge acreage absolutely full of bears. But now so are the surrounding areas 100 miles or more away.

When the bear reserves were established they were needed. With the population Tennessee has now the reserves aren't as important. Besides there's a 500K acre bear reserve known as GSMNP in the middle of the Tn/ NC border. Some counties have hunting allowed on the private inholdings inside the reserves. Even if TWRA allowed quota still hunts inside the reserves it would be a start.
Bears know where the reserves are and a lot of times will head to safety when dogs are running them.
