Just got this in....

from Russ Juelg
Rumors of traps intended for bears in South Jersey have been circulating. I just finished talking to Larry Herrity (sp?) at the Division of Fish and Wildlife, and he said the Division is not currently trapping any bears in South Jersey. The Division is not attempting to limit the natural migration of bears into South Jersey. Any traps set for bear or any other attempt to take a bear would be illegal, and should be reported as a game violation. You can call 856-629-0555 to report the violation.

That is good to know. It is also very good to hear that they are not currently opposed to the bears migrating back into the Pines. There is so much food as far as huckleberries go that their populations would probably increase quickly and then the public fear and hunting would begin. I personally welcome them back, if that day comes. I know there are probably at least a few scattered throughout.

If that trap catches me, I will be calling that number. Sounds like a rumor.

I'm not sure if bear are back in south jersey or if any how far in. I just read in the paper the other day there was one found dead here in lacey township in our industrial park. It appeared to have been struck by a car and looks as if the person possibly tried to help it but it died of a crushed skull or skull fracture. I myself wonder where it might have been hit, probably not too far because I don't imagine someone driving a long way with a bear in the back of their car or truck. It really makes me curious.
