More Bears in the news

[Tom Rankin]

While humorous, this article shows that bears are very active in New Jersey.

Not terribly far from me. High Mtn reservation is right by William Paterson U and Wayne general hospital.. the bears come out looking for garbage and stuff.

I had 3 bears in my backyard last year, did not see Goldilocks though.

I live in N NJ as well, and have heard this for years. Even on TV shows. Lot of people move from NYC to western NJ. Many, it seems after finding bears in the neighborhood, turn their living rooms into a bear observatory, and 'salt' the back yard with goodies to get the main act on stage. Then the complaints start.

Here's a pix of the bugger. His mug also made the WSJ yesterday.
