I know these woods intimately, having grown up hunting, fishing and trapping them and even helping preserve them back in the '70s. What the story doesn't say is that the county of Passaic owns the land and does not allow hunting of any kind, including for black bears. This is "ground zero" for NJ's black bear population. What a shame for this young man and his loved ones.
