Grouse Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) LAFAYETTE — A woman is recovering, after being mauled by a black bear along a township road on Wednesday, according to State Police. The 34-year-old Lafayette resident was walking alongside Gorney Road after 4:30 p.m., when the bear charged and attacked her, troopers said. The woman had been walking to check her mailbox when she saw "two or three bears" before the physical encounter with a yearling estimated to weigh between 150 pounds and 200 pounds, according to a separate statement from the Department of Environmental Protection. https://nj1015.com/black-bear-attack-mauls-woman-nj-sussex-county-lafayette/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NEWSROOM%2C Fri May 12: Black bear attack&utm_term=All Valid Users Edited May 13, 2022 by Grouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 I have hunted in Sussex County NJ and plan to do it again soon. Bears are all over that county and they have lost their fear of humans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 And relocating them just creates problems in a much larger area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
