Many wildlife call The Great Smoky Mountains home and It is very common to see Black Bears in the neighborhood.

Here is some helpful information from the National Parks Service regarding them:

Warning: Bears are wild animals that are dangerous and unpredictable. Do not approach bears or allow them to approach you!

Willfully approaching within 50 yards (150 feet), or any distance that disturbs or displaces a bear, is illegal.

if you see a bear:

• Remain watchful.
  
• Do not approach it
  
• Do not allow the bear to approach you.
  
• If the bear is at a distance, feeding or walking by, and notices you but continues its natural behavior, no action is needed on your part. Proceed while continuing to observe the bear.
  
• If your presence causes the bear to change its behavior (stops feeding, changes its travel direction, watches you, etc.) you are too close.

Being too close may promote aggressive behavior from the bear such as running toward you, making loud noises, or swatting the ground. The bear is demanding more space. Don't run, but slowly back away, watching the bear. Increase the distance between you and the bear. The bear will probably do the same.

If a bear persistently follows or approaches you, without vocalizing, or paw swatting:

• Change your direction.
  
• If the bear continues to follow you, stand your ground.
  
• If the bear gets closer, talk loudly or shout at it.
  
• Act aggressively to intimidate the bear.
  
• Act together as a group if you have companions. Make yourselves look as large as possible (for example, move to higher ground).
  
• Throw non-food objects such as rocks at the bear.
  
• Use a deterrent such as a stout stick.
  
• If you are carrying bear spray, begin to discharge it when the bear comes within 20 yards of you.
  
• Don't run and don't turn away from the bear.
  
• Don't leave food for the bear; this encourages further problems.
  
• Don't discharge a firearm; this can cause a safety hazard for other visitors.

If the bear's behavior indicates that it is after your food and you are physically attacked:

• Separate yourself from the food.
  
• Slowly back away.

If the bear shows no interest in your food and you are physically attacked, the bear may consider you as prey:

• Fight back aggressively with any available object!
  
• Do not play dead!
