A friend of mine who happens to work for USFWS was at Cades Cove yesterday with his family. They saw a sow with two cubs coming across a field and the car in front of them sped up and was trying to cut them off. They succeeded and then they piled out of the car and proceeded to RUN at the cubs!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a couple, the man stopped. The woman wouldn't even after he identified himself several times and the sow and cubs went into chest high grass she countinued to follow then on in to the woods. She finally returned, saying she wanted to pet the cubs.
