Now adjust your vision to a populated New Jersey where I live.
Imagine a situation where anything that smells is bear food. This means you can't leave a cheesecake on your coffee table.
Now envision how the environazis see you? You bastard? You left food out. A bear broke into your house because you were such a careless bastard. Now they want to hunt bears just because it ate your 18 month old.
Well, you deserved it didn't you?
I tell you this, I have had at least a dozen experiences where black bears ended up within 15 feet of me ON MY PROPERTY and my wife and I are exceptionally cautious about this issue. We don't leave trash out, we don't leave food out and we have followed all the bear rules.
Hopefully the NJ bear hunt will let them go back to the wilderness. Yes, there are vast stretches of wilderness in NW NJ. Most folks think NJ is a vast metroplex. It isn't by any stretch. Where I live in NJ, I can walk 9 miles in one direction without seeing a home. At least half of NJ is wilderness but most people won't understand that until they experience this state.

I've never seen more deer in my life than in NJ. They're like rats....and a major traffic hazzard.

"Yes, there are vast stretches of wilderness in NW NJ"Whereabouts? I have relatives along the Ramapo River in Mahwah. They're on the side of a mountain overlooking the river and I believe the NY state line runs across the top of the ridge. I haven't been there in about 20 years but it sure was nice back then.
