Please elaborate on bear "trouble"?

[JaxHiker]

When I was in the area I was told that "bears" had become "multiple aggressive bears". Apparently they were becoming more bold with people. This is 2nd hand info, though, as I skipped GSMNP. But I heard it from more than one group.

But then it was reported that they re-opened Cosby Knob because they had relocated the "problem" bears.... I would love to hear the latest...

Still waiting, inquiring minds want to know.

Bears playing with cables at night isnt trouble, in my book
Bears coming in the shelter and checking your sleeping bag to make sure your not hiding anything is.

Bear trouble was it just would not leave. Bear is living by the privy
