DENVILLE -- A 400-pound bear was shot and killed by authorities after it ripped through a man

Unfortunate for the Child, Homeowner and Bear. We need a bear hunt but if you live in "bear country", like I do you, don't leave your garbage outside, period.

On the other hand I have had bear incidences. And my garbage stays in the garage.

 

Yes we need a bear hunt but, we need some resident education as well. The homeowner should pay the $1000 fine and shut up he was part of the problem.

A few years ago upstate a bear killed a child. Same type situation .The campers just left trash all over the camp site. Sad that these things happen because we sometimes forget that there is a wild world just outside our doors.

Eddie we so agree. And the world we live in was their's first.

Are you only 1% of the state's population?

 

If there's a limited number of bear licenses, it stands to reason that supply outstrips demand and that if this letter-writer (below) where more intellectually honest, the number of potential bear hunters would be far larger.

Time to break out your letter writing skills.

To the Editor:

 

The 1 percent of New Jersey's population that hunts are writing letters asking New Jersey to "bring on the bear hunt." However, the majority of New Jersey's population is in favor of the scientifically proven, effective methods of strict enforcement of garbage in bear-proof containers to keep bears in the woods where they are bothering no one.

This was proven by a Rutgers University researcher in graphs showing scientific data from four national parks that proved controlling garbage prevents human-bear incidents. The data from this scientific research also proved that hunting bears did not decrease human-bear incidents in four states studied. Therefore, the science proved that strict garbage control is the only answer to preventing human bear incidents as the majority of New Jerseyans believe. Hunting only makes happy 1 percent of New Jersey's population

The bear proof cans are a crock! Ive seen bears across the street get into them all the time. Also it takes the sanitation companies longer to do their routes , each can has to be unscrewed. Id charge extra if it was my company. Common sense and a hunt will alleviate the bear problem some.

The cans do help, fish and game has been trying to get these hunts going but keep being held back, the bear population is getting crowded and not controlling it is going to put it over the top and you will start to see more and more of these stories..

Yeah they help somewhat , I live a few miles from what they refer to as "ground zero" I can tell you from what Ive seen with my own eyes , the cans are hit and miss.
