There is a new trailhead posting with the following info.
Bear proof containers have been provided at the 3 high country shelters (Thomas Knob, Wise, Old Orchard) and another is located near...
A bear box was placed at Thomas Knob shelter late last summer due to bear problems at the shelter. Staying there and using the box for all items that might attract a bear could help prevent a...
Sale of black bear gall bladders across state lines is a federal offense and is not easy money. For those willing to break the law there are many more profitable endeavors.
Black bear...
The game laws in Va make it virtually impossible for hunters to help solve this problem. Bear hunting over bait is not allowed. In addition, any bear killed must be taken to a check station and...
Awesome pics. Thanks for posting.
My son still uses the Sierra Designs Wilderness tent with the snow tunnel entrance that I bought at the Skimeister shop in N Woodstock in 1971. My old Svea 123R...
Finally an answer has been released on the death of William Lee Hill Jr. From a local news article:
The autopsy of Hill's body, performed at the Knox County Regional Forensic Center, revealed...
Who is "we" and what request has been submitted?
The partial gov't shutdown may affect the Park Service and their opportunity to make public statements regarding the death, but does not affect the state of Tn. The autopsy is the responsibility of...
...and now another five weeks have gone by making it FOUR months and one week since William Lee Hill Jr's body was found and I can find nothing on the web to tell us if the bear that was feeding on...
At some point they have to finish the autopsy and let the family bury the man.
I still have 2 of them and, if you don't need a low simmer, they are hard to beat. Poor stability is their only flaw and that can be improved by making a foam pad base.
...and now another month has gone by making it THREE months since William Lee Hill Jr's body was found and I can find nothing on the web to tell us if the bear that was feeding on his body killed...
Thanks TNhiker.
For those that don't know, Mt Rogers reopened to back country camping on 10/2.

...and here we are, now TWO months since William Lee Hill Jr's body was found and I can find nothing on the web to tell us if the bear that was feeding on his body killed him. TnHiker, have you...
Here we are over a month later and still waiting on the cause of death. Officials say it could take 90 days to complete an autopsy. Seems unreasonable to me.
Downyonder, those numbers would include bears taken in MRNRA and GHSP as hunting is allowed in both. With regard to bears learning to avoid humans you are probably correct. When a bear encounters a...
One by one, as best I can:
Uncle Joe, there is no hunting allowed in GSMNP, although there could be. Some very few NPs do allow hunting but most do not. There is no legislative prohibition...
Yes, you are totally correct about the backlash from a certain quarter who think that bear lives are more important than human life. We just have to quietly listen to their opinion and then go do...
Last Friday an elk guide and hunter were attacked by two grizzlies while field dressing an elk in Wyoming. The hunter was injured and the guide was killed by one of the bears. As of yesterday, two...
This strikes me as political BS. VDGIF has a black bear management plan with strategies for dealing with problem bears. You can Google it. With a bit of research you will also see that previous...
Yup, I still have the old "A" frame North Face tent with the snow tunnel entrance, but have not used it since the mid `80's. Great floor space for a 2 man, head space - not so much. Still have a...
I went by Thomas Knob shelter last Sunday about 1100 am. Whoever did the repairs did a fine job. The exterior walls were covered with log siding nailed on 2x4s, providing protection for the log...
