I was walking westbound on High Marsh Trail, almost where it crosses the West Fork Swede George Creek. I first heard loud rustling, below by the creek dry bed. I couldn't figure out what that could be so I took out my phone, then the bear came out from under some branches by the creek bed. I took a few pictures and a short video. The bear walked a few feet where I could see it, then it turned around and went back under the branches. It didn't seem to care I was there, even though I was chanting some mantras (I'm a Buddhist). The pictures are not great, we just see its backside but on the video one can see clearly it's a bear.
Visited us during the night atop Spring Mountain. Sampled some sour plums.
Photographed years prior to the creation of the Knoxville Wildlife Area. It was a very nice cinnamon-colored Black Bear of about 300+ pounds. It never knew that I was on the ridge above it until my "cheapy" camera shutter clicked; then it looked my way and took off running westward; it sounded like a freight train busting through the brush. After it had left the area, I went down and took a photo of its track.
