I have photos of one that was hit by a car on Ooltewah / Ringgold Rd. 1/4 mi. from Windstone Golf course. This was about three years ago. My wife and daughters saw it in a ditch and came back home to tell me. They saw all that black hair and told me it was a bear! When I first saw it , I thought it was someone's black Angus calf, but it was a hog! I had never seen one with so much thick, black hair! TWRA said it was about 9 mos. / 1 year old and about 200 lbs. male. Someone had already pulled the tusks from both sides of the jaws. I asked the officer if that is a "young" boy, shouldn't there be some Momma's and Daddy's out there somewhere? He said there was, they get reports / sightings all the time, the Sheriff's office said the same thing. They even said there was two or three black bear sightings and reports each year from I -75 at White Oak Mtn. all the way down to where in Georgia, it becomes Taylor's Ridge. They are here!
