22 y/o man killed by Bear in NJ

And of all places to get killed by a bear, in Jersey. This guy was actually from around where I'm from, didn't know him (Edison has a gigantic Asian-American population but the Indians especially keep to themselves). A terrible tragedy.

The northern counties in Joisey have had increasing bear problems for a good 25 years. Warren, Sussex, and Hunterdon counties are full of them. On occasion you read stories of the well-to-do family under whose porch big mama bear decided to hole up for the winter slumber. There have been coyotes reported in the South Bronx, too.

Coyotes make nice rugs.

Yeah, I've never been up there myself but I tend to hear about them encouraging black bear hunts every year or so to cut down on the population. Kind of surprising to hear about coyotes in the Bronx, I bet nobody would have the slightest idea what they were looking at.
