They posted the picture on yahoo. In the comments some claim to be hikers and have experienced aggressive black bears in recent years. The article stated the other kids took pictures also. It would be interesting to see all the pictures. It might give a better idea of what happened. I find it hard to believe that not one of them was recording video? Kids at their age are all about filming everything. In any case the video (which there may be one that isn't being released) could be used to prevent and educate the public on dealing with bear encounters.

I believe they hunt bear in nj. Maybe within the last few years a hunting season was instituted . There sure is a ton of bear on the AT there

Six days isn't much of a season. Esp. when concurrent with deer season.

If you stay on the video it loops to other black bear attacks in WV and FL.
