If you live in bear country out in New Jersey, you might already know this is the time of year when bears like to fatten up for winter.
“One of the problems we’re having this year is that there seems to be a bit of a lack of some of the food they like out there, some of the acorns and nuts,” says Larry Ragonese of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
