    I never have but they're in the Smokies to name just one area....I really don't think they earned their dangerous reputation though...I have seen several in the South Mountains near Morganton, NC where I used to deer hunt and never had any problems with em....Several years ago they were getting too populous in the Smokies and there were a few rangers there whose full time jobs were to walk the woods and kill em off to thin em down a little...They can do a lot of damage to the forest though ...
