Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife

It's about this time of year I start seeing all the pictures and videos of bear sightings and sometimes personal encounters with bears in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. What's fascinates me is the more I read about bears crossing the border into mostly southeastern Kentucky, the more they creep closer to these parts in the Tri-State.

Yes, there are. Here's what the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Services has to say about them.

Three mysterious animal deaths were reported in Monroe County last week. A fourth was reported over the weekend. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife has found inconclusive evidence as to what could have committed the slaughter.
