I’ve visited Gatlinburg and Cades Cove many times, and seen black bears multiple times each visit. Too often there was a crowd of tourists trying to get a closer look, even with mama bears. Thanks for keeping your distance!
Me and my family are on a trip to Gatlinburg right now and we just saw a bear right outside our cabin. We kept our distance and watched the bears as they were walking around. They are very beautiful and precious animals that should be kept in mind. Thank you guys for keeping distance from the bears.
I live in Sevierville few miles from Gburg. See bears often. Beautiful and curious but still very protective and dangerous. Please admire from distances and never feed or encourage human interaction for campers,hikers and tourists saftey. Great video too!
We were in Gatlinburg in February before the pandemic with friends. We had been the October of 2019 with our youngest son. On that trip we had seen 7 bears total on that trip. I love nature and watching them climb trees or come down is thrilling each time I experience the view.
buster 53546 I watched a video of a female black bear chase a male up a tree to defend her cub. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. That bear ran up that tree, then scrambled down taking every limb with with her and then back up again, fast, right below the male. If I had been the male bear I would have shit in the woods in front of God and everybody.
Why must you all turn this into a dumb thing like wether people can abort or not? God, it's a gorgeous bear wandering her way onto someone's deck. It has nothing to do with that bullshit. If a mother bear eats her cub it's just the circle of life, and no it is not the same as abortion, you fucking crab cake. Enjoy the wild life, or go back to the 1970 so you can drink your coke infested soda pop in peace.
@Frank O yes that's nature for you, but they don't make weapons that kill babies and children do they! They dont profit off dumping toxic waste, do they! And I forgot human mothers kill their babies too, or did you forget about that!
I live in Gatlinburg, thank you for being respectful. Too many of our bears have to be put down due to people feeding them and treating them like they are pets. We want to continue to live with them, as peacefully as possible. Please do not feed the bears.
@@wilburmcbride8096 because they then see people as a source of food and are not scared of us. Most bears will run from people, not once they are fed regularly. They will approach people looking for food. And if that person doesn't have any, or runs.... Well, it could end badly for the person. Here in Gatlinburg, tourism is massive. Too many risks come with feeding any wild animals. And IF caught, there are large fines that come with it. People just get so excited when they see bears, as do I. They are gorgeous, but deadly animals. It's not fair for them to be euthanized due to our mistakes. Google or UA-cam bears in Gatlinburg. You will be amazed by all the stories and people getting WAY to close to them.
I live a couple of hours away in Murphy, NC and everytime I go outside at night, I look around and listen to make sure I don't hear or see anything. We just moved here and I haven't seen anything yet but I am wary! We have a porch similar to this.
I live near gatlinburg and these are beautiful creatures. To be respected and left to their thing. Keep your distance and you are fine, approach one and you could find yourself in a tough spot. Its part of living in the smokies, even in the middle of town you never know. They will casually stroll right into stores or down the street. I had a young bear even walk up and sniff me down then wander off once. No panic or fear because he approached me. Pretty common sight in gatlinburg day and night. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AROUND THEM AND GIVE THEM SPACE!
As a kid growing up in the Bronx, the only wild animals i saw were in cages at the zoo. Now I live in the Georgia mountains and I'm in the cage and the bears come up to our home and look at us. I love it!
BEAUTIFUL! WE have bears too, and RESPECT them. Stay inside when you think they are out there- and also: they are VERY QUIET, you wouldn't believe how quiet they are walking and running up a hill. Kim
Cool video. We have black bears (sometimes with cubs) come through our property. Mostly, they just toss our trash cans and move on. If you don't mess with them, they usually don't mess with you. A few times, bears have managed to get inside peoples' vehicles and not be able to get out. I never would have imagined how a bear can destroy the inside of a vehicle, but it's pretty remarkable. To get them out, either someone opens the door and runs away, or a window is shattered and allows the bear to escape.
Great video and what a treat. One of my biggest regrets, not buying a property in the Gatlinburg mountains back in the early 80's, that property has almost tripled. Love that area but, boy has it changed.
"Mommmyyyy have you seen? The hoomans are home!!" "Yes little one. And the balcony door is closed too so I'm sorry - no watching Winnie Pooh today on telly."
We had something like that happen to us once when I was a child. We spent the night in this parking lot in the mountains between Tennessee and north Carolina and we were woken up in the middle of the night by a small black bear on the hood of our car and it wasn't even bothering us. It didn't try to attack or anything. It was just lying there on the hood just hanging out with us and being friendly, like it was saying "howdy, folks. How y'all doing?" The next morning, we woke up and the bear was gone. So we got out of the car to wake up and stretch our arms and legs and continued the rest of our vacation time there.
Thank you for sharing that! That was a once in a lifetime encounter.....and you were so respectful of them. They are incredible animals. Thanks again ♡
I have never got to see a bear when we visit Gatlinburg I feel like this year will be lucky for me .We are going to go out earlier in the day I was told they are out while it's cool either way I'm really looking forward to going this year there are so many new sights to see Dollys Wildwood Grove really looking forward to going there and Blake's Ole Red can't wait to enjoy that experience .
Traciblagg54 blagg54 I was there a couple of weeks ago on vacation and saw one everyday for a week. Sometimes twice a day 😵 I have been visiting Gatlinburg for 15 years and maybe saw a handful of bears that entire time until this year. I doubt you will be disappointed lol
I’d like to go out there and wrestle one of them. Just grab him. I wonder what would happen? I’d be ok as long as he didn’t bite me. But that’s the trick, isn’t it? To not get bit. The little baby cub is so cute.
That lil baby bear 🐻 can fly & move on that tree! His momma 🐻 taught him very well. However; I was laughing bcuz half the time I couldn't figure out what they were doing (momma bear with her booty facing the camera 😂) It was almost like they had a treehouse.
I live in north jersey and bears are everywhere!!! A UPS driver was delivering a package to one of our neighbors once and needed a signature so he knocked on the door a few times with no answer then heard a noise on the side around the house and thought oh , they must be outside... walks down the side and see a bear eating the home owners dog .
I love black bears. You're very cool I live in Colorado can I see a lot of them I call them my friends I hope you had a nice Christmas and in years too God bless bye
aw... the little baby cub is so cute. saw a bear when I was down in gatlinburg last week. I never see any every time I go down there, but I know that they're there. Super cool!
You know it!!! I have a playlist for our yearly (sometimes more) Gatlinburg trips, and A Boy Named Sue is at the top of that list. The first time my daughter heard me sing it (she was really young), she asked, "Does it really say Gatlinburg in the song???"
It was so interesting watching the cub discover that it had no way back onto the porch from the tree, unlike bigger Mama. It did work out that it had to go all the way to the ground.
i would not live in your neighborhood for a million dollars no damn way im very happy were i live we dont have bears i never seen a bear in my neighborhood
All fun and games until you on the porch sipping some whisky and a bear cub falls out the tree into your lap!..lol...all jokes aside great vid/experience.
Iam planning a trip next year to Tennessee. Its hard finding a remote cabin. I hate Gatlinburg to crowded. I drove 14 hrs last year only to get stuck in traffic and I went right back home. I am looking for a place I can see the animals and is off grid type place. Every place I look at has hot tub pool tables microwave etc. Thats not cabin living to me. Great video thanks.
Yes. Grizzly Bears make them look like amateurs. There is actually a video somewhere on u tube a guy is taping a grizzly bear mom and its cub and a black bear gets to close to her cub and she chases the bear all the way to the top of a couple of 200 ft+ trees. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP WHERE IT GETS FLIMSY AS SHIT.
It's wonderful to see people who enjoy the beauty of nature, respectfully. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I fully agree. To see them so closely is a privilege... a gift.
I just imagined being there sipping a cup of tea then they show up whoa
Yea,...until they attack you
@@jaywinters2483 If you don't bother them I am sure there is nothing to fear,

Yep. They good climbers

Don't mess with them when they have a cub. Just keep your distance and enjoy the show.
g bridgman
Don’t mess with them period
Like the sliding glass door is really any protection, lol
At what point in the video were the bears messed with???
Looked like you had several good shots!😄
Just true. Lucky them to see them upclose though
Such accomplished gymnasts they are😃‼️Thanks for sharing with all of us🙏🏻❣️
Amazing how well balanced they are!
I know they are dangerous but they are precious too.

They're not really "dangerous" persay. They're not known to attack humans unless provoked. they'll run away from you typically.

Stacie Strachan that's so unfair! killing animals because of humans mistakes? oh how I despise human race, we only know how to destroy 😤😡
Why do they put the bears down? Do they threaten people or they become nuisance animals?

Hibiscus Syriacus it's their nature to attack threats, just like it's a horses nature to run from threats. Dont blame them
Lucky people who can watch these beautiful animals up close!!

Just got home from Gatlinburg, and saw a bear and at least 1 cub less than 15 hours ago. It was my wife's first time seeing a bear up close and wild

That is so great to be able to be that close to those magnificent creatures. What a blessing!
Bears are starting to show up in Alabama now there's been some sightings in the woods near Anniston.
*They have such an innocent, curious look upon their faces....I could never shoot one for sport only in a life & death situation...*
Hemi204 people who shoot them are monsters! they don't deserve to live with normal people
@Duke Of Prunes shoot a person,. There are plenty of those to eat!

Bears are amazing. Nothing seems too difficult for them.
I'm amazed that balcony rail is able to support a 300 lbs bear & her cub
I knew they could climb trees like it's nothing but that balance and confidence they show on that porch fence is impressive.
Wouldn’t you be scared, besides being excited? I would! OMG!
So big and powerful animaos!

So beautiful!! What an awesome experience! Thanks for sharing :)
I never thought bears were so adept at tree climbing! wow.
Really they are so cute! It's too bad that they are dangerous. If they weren't I think I'd be spending time petting one.
what a precious gift
My thoughts exactly!!!! Wonderful
I would give my two front teeth to be able to live like that.. these folks are truly blessed !!
What a moment. Excellent job capturing it with a phone! Nicely done.😎

Which cabin is it? I’d love to rent it!

That kind of porch ,chairs , wildlife ... this is my DREAM!!!!
This is what happens when people go the the bears house and build people houses. Amazing neighbors indeed 😊
Such a blessing for a bear to visit you
No one:
Literally no one:
Bear: “I need to walk on this railing”
When all goes well, it is the most awesome sight ever....
I used this video to help teach my preschool class about bears. Thank you :)
We were there in October, 2018 and saw a momma with twin cubs. Great video.
That is awesome! Just goes to show that they are so very agile! Very cool vid!
Man i didn't know the moved that effortlessly through the trees! They're like giant squirrels almost!
That was so awesome to get that safely close to wild bears. We go to Gatlinburg every year and have for over 20 years. We were married there.
That's amazing... So beautiful. Thank u 4 sharing
WTF, they walk porch railings like the Undertaker walks the top rope in a wrestling match and the cub climbs trees like he's a damn koala. . .
BlueFox284 yo this is the best reference I’ve ever heard 😂
They do don't they
Wow!!! I haved been in Gatlinburg and pigeon forge so Many times and never have seen bears 🙁
Beautiful creatures! 😘❤️❤️
