"So far, the DEC hasn't reported euthanizing any bears in the Adirondack backcountry, although many campers and hikers have reported having encounters with them in the Marcy Dam and Lake Colden area of the Eastern High Peaks Wilderness.
Michelle Minnoe, information coordinator at the High Peaks Information Center, said she's had "a lot of reports of people running into bears, even in the early afternoon hours."
In addition, one bear recently broke into a car parked at the Adirondack Mountain Club's Adirondak Loj campground a little less than two weeks ago.
"I believe it broke a window and chewed up a head rest," Durfey said.

None of the incidents resulted in injuries to people, according to the DEC."
