and in New York state, a bear killed a 5-month-old girl in 2002 after knocking her out of a stroller and dragging her into the woods of the Catskills Mountains.
That was at a summer camp, very close to where I live. Speculation at the time was that the bear was attracted to sour milk smell from her bottle or a soiled diaper. There are many nuisance bears in NYS over the past several years, especially in the counties that border NJ. A local hunting club killed six on the opening weekend of rifle season this year. There were also 25 or 30 killed in our first ever early bear season that was run in September of this year for two weeks, in my county.
