Occurred on October 28, 2023 / Gatlinburg, Tennessee, USA
Info from Licensor: "My husband is too damn brave! We were in Gatlinburg, TN in October 2023 for less than an hour and had this big bear come right up to our cabin! My husband said he wanted to see how close he could get to the bear and hopefully get to pet it! I was not happy with this and pleaded with my husband to stop, which he reluctantly did but later on that evening I found out he snuck back out to make another attempt to pet the bear. Thankfully my goofy husband survived and is safe back in Arkansas."
