Title: The Smokies (PIC HEAVY)
Post by: TurkeyScratch on June 14, 2011, 07:39:18 PM
Thought I would share a few pics from the past few days. These were taken in Cades Cove. We were hoping to see bear, well I found these up in an apple tree. Sow with 3 cubs.

Great pics!! I love Cade's Cove. I spent most of my time getting the turkeys to gobble. I could live there for sure!

Very nice pictures, I loved the pictures of the gobblers.

I took a deep breath and visioned one of them flopping. ;D

Don't know how long it has been since you have been there but you won't see numbers like that anymore.  I used to see numbers like that but they have really declined.  I have asked several questions to the park rangers about it but they say nothing has happened or been done.

Let me tell you from experience, this could lead to problems!  I did this same thing one time and a park ranger searched my truck and said he could right me a ticket for disturbing wildlife!  I almost laughed
