However when gsmnp has relocated bears, some have managed to come back to their old trouble areas, after being relocated hundreds of miles away.


reminds me (and i cant find a link to it anymore) of i believe as bear #95 from GSMNP...

it became a problem bear in cades cove-----they took it about halfway into the park...

it came back to the cove...

so they moved it to the far east part of the park...

it came back to the cove...

they took it into cherokee national forest...

it again came back...

so they took it another time to cherokee forest up near the tri cities area......

it was killed on a highway, and they were presuming that it was trying to return to the park...
