BOONE, N.C. — Bears are evidently enjoying their big summer vacation in western North Carolina.
People in Watauga County are reporting numerous bear sightings in recent weeks, including in their own backyard.
One clip shows a momma bear feeding on a bird feeder while her cubs are climbing a tree! Thomas Loflin saw the bears last week.
"It's just crazy," Thomas told WBTV.
Loflin said he and his family just stayed back and observed the bears, which is what experts advise.
