I'm actually in Highland lakes, "The other side of the mountain" from West Milford. So I've got the Pequannock watershed to the west and south and Waywanda Park to the North and East and sandwiched in between these reserves is my town.

Like you, I really don't have much of a problem with the bears and until just a few years ago, it really wasn't much of a problem. You'd see them once every few months and that'd be that. Towards the end of summer, I was seeing them almost every day and always on Monday(Garbage day).
That's excessive. If this hunt culls the heard and relieves feeding and territorial pressure from the bears that remain, it'll be better for us and better for the bears.

It's also supposed to put the fear of man in 'em. Anyway, we'll see next year what effect it had.
