The Ultimate Smoky Mountain Bear Safety Guide Released by Jackson Mountain Homes
Gatlinburg, Tenn. (PRWEB) July 29, 2014 -- To help families know what to do if they come across a Smoky Mountain bear during their vacation, Jackson Mountain homes, the premier Gatlinburg cabin rental company in the Smokies, released an in-depth guide on everything visitors should know about Smoky Mountain bear safety.
In the guide, Jackson Mountain homes goes into detail on tips on what families should do if they are to encounter a Smoky Mountain bear while hiking, enjoying a picnic, or relaxing at their Gatlinburg cabin rental.
The guide also explains all the laws that surround how humans are allowed to interact with the bears as governed by the National Park Service. These laws include staying at least 50 yards away from the bears at all times, do not try and feed the Smoky Mountain bears, and no hunting allowed inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
“The Smoky Mountain bears are some of the most beautiful and amazing animals that live in our national park,” said a spokesperson for the Gatlinburg cabin company. “We do not want visitors to be scared when they see the bears; however, we do want them to be aware of what to do if they do see one during their vacation.”
According to Jackson Mountain Homes, it is especially important for families visiting the area to understand Smoky Mountain black bear safety this year as there has been a drastic increase in the number of bear cubs in the park. Attributing a higher availability of fall mast and the reproductive cycle of the female bears, the National Park service has declared 2014 the ‘Year of the Yearlings.’
