While visiting Gatlinburg this fall, chances are that you will see a black bear within the city limits of Gatlinburg. Numerous bear sightings have been reported during October. The Smoky Mountains had a great season last year for new bear cubs being born along.
Efforts to restore bear populations in Tennessee have resulted in more frequent bear sightings both inside and outside of the national park. Park Rangers are saying that in 2009, there have been more bear sightings since the park service started keeping records in 1981.
Should you encounter a bear on your trip, keep in mind that you should not approach the animal. Use extreme caution around the bear. If the bear changes it’s behavior (stops feeding, or starts paying attention to you) you are too close to the animal. Don’t run or do anything that could startle the bear. Slowly back away while watching the bear. Changes are you increase your distance from the bear, it will do the same.

Elk breeding season in the Smoky Mountains runs from September to October and right now is a great time to see them. Bulls typically mate with up to 20 cows during the season. Males spar with other bulls in order to show that they are the dominant one. Most encounters are just for show and involve very little physical contact.
If you listen closely while your in the part, you can hear the distinct bugling sound that males use to invite females for breeding.
If your lucky enough to see any elk breeding, remember that the animals are wild and you should use caution and not approach them, especially during the mating rituals.
