| Ursus americanus | American Black Bear | 2005-10-16 | Robert Wingo | 1 | RARO - Although not seen, there is a high probability that a bear was present at the Group Wilderness Camp.
Mr. Wingo was camping with his group from Golfview Baptist Church at site 5 at the Group Wilderness Camp. He said that about 3:00 am he heard noises near Little Creek, which enters the CFR near site 5. He thought it was some of the youth in his group making noise, so he went out of his tent with a lantern. He said that he heard something big crashing through the woods and breaking limbs. I asked him if he was familiar with the sound that a deer makes running through the woods. He said that he has deer hunted and that he was sure it wasn't a deer. | | 07_Sign wo/photo |
