Black bear having lunch in West milford, Nj

[rodali100]

you should be fined for this .

That's big for a black bear but he's nowhere near 700lbs. Black Bears rarely grow more than 500LBS and that's probably only going to happen up in Canada. The biggest a Bear in NJ will grow is probably 350LBS, which I bet is what this Bear is.

@danyeo dont underestimate the mountains of NJ. Look up "bearzilla". Trapped by fish and game. He was 700 plus pounds!

no problems with black bears. they will leave us alone or run away. the dangers presented by a bear encounter is a myth propagated by the nj fish and wildlife department and hunters group. nice video.

That is a mauler. Bear season will bag at most 2/10 of the 3500.

[ClutchFan1971]

That bear is a definite shooter. Can't wait for bear season to start!

I was feeding birds with stale left over bread not the bear, I have been living with black bear for 30 years with out problems, I am fully aware that feeding bears or other mammals will cause a unbalance and overpopulation problem that is happening now. In 1992 there were approx 500 black bears in Northern NJ now there are 3,500, big increase in 18 years.

feeding them isn't really a good idea. that's what gets them killed here in NJ......

[WorkingGirlCom]

Feeding them is so bad please don't!!

[freevideo88]

What is he eating?

[jerseygirl71171]

At first I thought this was "Big Ben", but he's always causing problems in Greenbrook and at the Elks' club. He also apparently has an injured nose from when they relocated him. I wonder how he is.....he was HUGE!

A FED BEAR IS A DEAD BEAR!

[byronbarks]

Two pounds of bread? Don't feed the bears! You are just making them associate humans a food source. Idjit.

Hi I am familiar with Vacamas that is about 12 miles south from where I live. The Black Bears have been around here alot longer then people. unlike popular belief they do not hibernate throughout winter, in this area especially males . 2 brothers were on my porch this morning knocking over a table and had to chase them away. I feel safer with Bears in my yard, because my house was robbed on 9/11/09 and do not have a dog. Bears make a good guard. In 25 years here they never caused any problem.

I'm from London but worked in West Milford at a summer camp on Macopin Road called Vacamas and I saw so many Black Bears in those woods it was amazing. We don't have Bears in G.Britain so you can imagine I was a little scared and excited too.
