Over the years this area has had many bear sightings. This week a black bear was first spotted in nearby Bradyville in neighboring Cannon County. Then the 150-pound animal roamed to Hickman County and then over to Fairview in Williamson County. As you remember, several years ago the Rutherford County Sheriffs Office got calls of a bear in the Christiana area. It was never found. Nor was the black panther seen a few months ago near Barfield Park.
