Marauding Bears Ravaging Beartown and Surrounding Flocks
In Tazewell County's Burkes Garden Thompson Valley area sheep losses rise nightly to marauding bears operating from Beartown Moon Hunters and Red dogs from North Carolina. Hunters with 17 dogs and companions pursued the bear, but it eludes capture, leaving carcasses in areas from Spratt's Beartown to Higginbotham Gap. The bear reportedly uses a radar-like tactic to dodge stands, with losses surpassing 100 sheep and lambs. Previous year’s raid in 1952 killed over 400, mostly purebred flocks, prompting renewed efforts and reinforcements.
