New Jersey's first bear hunt in five years is likely to run its scheduled course through Saturday, according to DEP spokesman Larry Ragonese. That outcome is likely with the updated count of dead bears through the first three days.

While hunters have now bagged 441 bears — a record, Ragonese said the goal is "an expected range of 500 to 700." A record haul on Monday dropped by half on Tuesday, and the 55 bears bagged on Wednesday was more than half the previous day's count.
