Great Smoky Mountains Bear FoundScavenging On Human Remains

A small percentage of black bears are predatory on humans. Many people are surprised to learn about this. I used to work in SE Alaska and saw bears every day, black ones and large salmon eating brown ones. I had more problems with black bears, because there were more of them. I have been stalked by them over several hours. They would leave and come back always on my 6 (behind me). Be ever vigilant.
