Here we go again, after a successful 2010 Bear Culling season by New Jersey Hunters, the anti’s are at it again.

The following are a compilation of their bogus complaints:

 

NJ Fish & Wildlife is so biased toward hunting they will do and say anything in abuse of their authority to promote the trophy hunting of black bears INCLUDING:

 

  • Refusing to enforce state garbage laws.
  • Killing black bears to promote fear.
  • Using junk science to record nuisance incidents.
  • Promoting recreational trophy hunting against public opinion.
  • 99% of NJ citizens do not support hunting.

 

This from groups that have played the political trump card from 2000 through 2011 using false and misleading information to create a threat of lost votes to politicians that would support any black bear … Continue Reading

Holiday Duck Hunt

The head waters of the Teton River caught me following Dad, jump shooting ducks in the late fall and early winters of my youth in eastern Idaho.  Opening day had a smell.  Shot guns, powder, and that sweet smell of Hoppes.  Clean ready to shoot, shot guns!

Dad had an old Remington pump that would always jam after the 2nd shot.  We’d carry a chunk of bailing wire to fix it.  Our family also had Uncle Boyd’s 16 gauge bolt action with that huge adjustable choke on the end of the barrel.  It had a 2 shot clip that would sometimes … Continue Reading

Preservation of Black Bears in New Jersey

Black bears in NJ

The black bears in New Jersey had been successfully preserved through the years as a result of efforts from the New Jersey Fish & Wildlife/Fish & Game Commission and the professional state biologists. Supporting and upholding these laws were the sportsmen of N.J., the very same “hunters” now accused by the anti’s of wanting to annihilate the black bear.

 

Since 2000 however, the efforts of NJF&W/F&G have been thwarted by animal-right/anti-hunting groups that have managed to turn black bear overpopulation into a political issue. This all … Continue Reading

BLACK BEAR OVER-POPULATION in New Jersey 2010 “Who is the blame?”

The Bear Education and Resource Group has paid for a half page ad in the Daily Record, Morris County, N.J. stating among other things that:

“The Division of Fish & Wildlife (DFW) is the blame, breaking the law by refusing to enforce the feeding ban.”

“The DFW refuses to enforce proper garbage storage laws and instead of ticketing property owners, they “allow” bears to be lured into human environments by the smell of garbage and there they kill them-using these incidents to justify bear hunting.

“DFW “solely” exists to manage sport hunting.

“Non-lethal bear management (ex: garbage control) is the only proven way to … Continue Reading

Though their scientific name is Ursus Americanus, they are most abundant in Canada. In fact, … Continue Reading

Black Bears, New Jersey (2010) Let the Debates Begin

 Well, here they go again! The Bear Education and Resource Group, fresh off one of the most devastating loses of their “Stop the Bear Hunt” cause (when they failed to rally enough people to vote against Governor Christi for his outright support of a black bear hunt, prior to and after the election)  have now filed some “bogus” lawsuit against the NJDF&W.

This law that they dug up is called “The (OPMA) Open Public Meetings Law Act”.

The Game Committee Chairman however, stated that all of the Council’s regular meetings are open, but subcommittee meetings, including the Game Council Committee, do … Continue Reading
