Black Bear Hit by Car and Killed in Meade County
It s about this time of year I start seeing all the pictures and videos of bear sightings and sometimes personal encounters with bears in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. What s fascinates me is the more I read about bears crossing the border into mostly southeastern Kentucky, the more they creep closer to these parts in the Tri-State.
Unfortunately, one black bear wasn t so lucky recently in Meade County. Last Wednesday, on highway 31W in Muldraugh a woman hit and killed a black bear.

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife took possession of the bear and the agency s final assessment determined the bear to weight just over 250 pounds.
