First armadillos and coyotes and now black bears?? Let me know if you read the follow up on that, we do a lot of night riding and I thought the only thing we had to think about was the stray skunk or hunter!!

All of the existing trails at FATS are in Edgefield County. About as far SW in the county as you can be. Trenton, where the bears are is prolly 20 miles away.
The next two loops at FATS are in McCormick County.

Thanks, there have been a lot of postings. Guess this drought is hurting the bears also. Have a good weekend.

This is apparently bear breeding season so they are on the move. There have only been 2 known fatal bear attacks in the southeast and they occured in Tennessee. This link will take you to the black bear distribution map for the state of South Carolina: www.dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/bear/distribution.htmlThe majority of bears in South Carolina are concentrated in two regions in South Carolina, one located in the mountainous region and the other in the northern coastal plain. The mountain population is located primarily in Oconee, Pickens and Greenville counties and the coastal population is primarily in Georgetown and Horry counties.
