Bears out and about
- Thread starter 46er
- Start date
I wonder if this is the same bear that the state moved out of Mercer County a few weeks ago? I read that the Division of F&G released the bear into a wildlife management area in Central Jersey. I think that would have been Assumpink, Colliers Mill or Turkey Swamp.

A New Egypt local told me not too long ago that they released a bear in Colliers Mills. I thought he was out of his mind or just misinformed. Maybe he was neither? I cant imagine a bear in one of those smaller WMA. You have to know they'll wander out of there in no time.
It was released in the Assunpink after beign tagged. The article is still around. Didn't know the Assunpink was a preserve though

Yah, its a WMA. First the article says Assunpink Preserve, then it goes on to say an "undisclosed WMA." Which one is it? Ahh, reporters these days.
