Black bear in hanging rock state park

[nc.hunter]

Hey guys I live in forsyth county,nc. Hanging rock state park is a park in stokes county,nc. just an hour from me! Inside the park it is called the sauratown mountains. Its pretty cool. Anyway I got to looking and inside the park there is alot of wildlife. Including black bear sightings and pics of one with cubs inside the campground! According to the fish cops we shouldnt have black bear. Here is a link to a webpage that has the latest sightings in the park. http://149.168.1.196/nrid/viewPub.ph...MMAL&park=HARO

It also includes coyotes and bobcat! If anyone lives near there please tell us the story of your wildlife findings. Thanks.

NC: Cougar Sighting


Two Morganton, NC, men reported seeing "a four-foot, fawn-colored cat, its long tail down and curled at the tip, cross N.C. 181 as they came down the mountain on motorcycles Monday. They were near the Barkhouse Picnic Area between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m." A wildlife technician who was interviewed was skeptical; another wildlife biologist claimed she had found cougar scat in West Virginia, so not as skeptical.

I live near Lake James in WNC. We "aren't supposed" to have cougars. But, we do. Coyotes are almost becoming a nuisance.

I saw a cougar in Hawkins Co., TN about 1999. Coyotes are thick as flies.
