Bear hunters clean up Jocassee, build bench at scenic overlook

Members of the South Carolina Bear Hunters' Association build a bench at the scenic "North Carolina Overlook" at Laurel Fork Mountain on the Horsepasture Road in northern Pickens County. The bear hunters recently picked up trash throughout Jocassee Gorges and built the bench as a way to give something back to the community in which they hunt. (Photo by Dennis Chastain)
