If you ever get to go to the Great Smoky Mountains you'll see more than 2 in the wild!I have had them walk past me within 10 feet...all your heart does is POUND.
Yeah I've been up here in bear country for 13 years and spend a lot of time outdoors and have only seen two up close and personal. I've seen evidence of a whole lot more and probably about a thousand 'chainsaw bear sculptures'. If I started camping a whole lot messier I might get to meet a whole bunch of bears.
