ONLY 3. First year we saw 25. Second time 50 and the last time 50 or 55. Second time we went met a couple that had been going there for over 20 years and they hardly ever saw bears. They always went in late June, July or August. Bears want to stay cool just like us. They stay in the woods. We always went in the first week of May. Never had a problem seeing bears.

I don't remember seeing any bears when we visited there, but then again we didn't see any bears when we were in Alaska either. We DID see a moose though.

When my cousin and her ex were here for their first visit (Katie was born here but her mother moved them to New Zealand when she was 13, here ex Dan had never been outside New Zealand before)
We took them on a sasquatch expedition in an area that we often see black bears, they so wanted to see one
No luck that trip

Missouri's population of black bears is growing; a couple of years ago my neighbor's Dad said he saw a sow with two cubs about three miles from us. Then someone took a picture of a fair sized bear walking on the blacktop road that goes around the lake (Stockton). I just don't want any to show up on my property!

That is something Y'all will remember for the rest of your lives. Good memories. Patty and I will remember our first trip (well each one actually) out to the Smokies. The look on Pattys face and the excitement she exhibited when she saw the mountains for the first time and her first Bear will forever live in my memory. And she was like the kid in a candy store over her first pictures of the bears. Oh, and she was in awe of SMKW and actually enjoyed it. Course meeting Todd and OGB  (Susan) was another highlight. I love the Smokies, I typically go once a year and try to hit some hiking trails and buffets. Over the years I have seen 3 separate black bear all from a safe distance. I love the Smokies too, especially when it is not too crowded! "Hiking trails and buffets" - great minds think alike!

IF it is still there. just at the south end of Pigeon Forge, on the left side of the road (shares a building with a gas station) is a place called "Bojangles' " THE BEST biscuits you WILL EVER eat. https://locations.bojangles.com/tn/pigeon-forge/4035-parkway.htmlThey even give you plastic knives! (see how I tied that in)

They were probably concerned about giving an old guy like you a REAL knife Randy. LOL
