Irvington, one of the larger cities in NJ, the bears are all over the place and one just mauled a college student to death last week while hiking in the woods. It's been over 150 years since the last human was killed by a bear.

A 218 pound bear is not a cub and is not the cutest thing one can see.

Any bear can quickly do a large amount of damage to a person

A 218-pound bear is just a dangerous as the same sized “Teddy Bear” walking down the center of the road in Ferguson, Mo.

Wild animals that don’t stay away from humans and instead endanger them or their animals need educated. Out in the sticks we provide free education with anything from 55 grain to 600 grain lead. Most all quietly pass the final exam.

I used to only educate the coyotes that happened upon the farm until they killed one of my cats. Now I offer free food at 300 yards to attract the slower learners.

Bears get the hound dogs unleashed for a quicker learning curve.

I believe Irvington is a town, and with just over 50,000 people, the 30th largest municipality in NJ.

What happened to the Rutgers student was tragic.

It makes me angry whenever people laugh off the idea that hikers might encounter bears and the bears could harm them.

“the bears are all over the place and one just mauled a college student to death last week while hiking in the woods.”

I was planning a hike at that same preserve in a few weeks about 10 miles west of me, having second thoughts since our wonderful NJ lawmakers won’t even let us carry bear mace.

That incident took place 10 miles south of me in a place I've been hunting for 30 years. There has never so many bear in this particular area as there is now. I refuse to enter those woods without ”protection".
