Come to NJ, our bruin population is significant and we have considerably less wilderness for them to hang out in.
I agree with @powderfreakthey largely will move along, however right now is peak risk due to momma bears with cubs. Two small dogs were KIA in Sparta the other day; the owner sustained mild injury.
It’s all about educating the people who live in “bear-country”. My personal pet peeve: trash bags put out the night before pick up, instead of early on the day of. Why not just ring the dinner bell?
Cheers all!
