Governor Murphy Stops Bear Hunt On All NJ's Owned Lands

[SlugsnArrows]

We need a law suite to make a statement and push back right? A law suite could get it put on hold and force the hunt to go through until the case is decided. Could we say he is discriminating against hunters that don’t have private land access? There has to be some action taken as he signed an executive order (not a law) to cut off the use on land bought with funds but not on private loans.

Anyone one here a lawyer that would be willing to do it for free or know of one?

Why not start a go fund me page to help offset costs?

I would contribute as I’m sure a lot of clubs and people would to?

We can bitch here or we could band together and do something.

Thoughts?

You get what you vote for. Keep voting democrat. If he can pull it off with the bears, deer hunting is next

I don't really care to bear hunt - I would donate to a good fight though.  Of course this asshole will say "discrimination- BAH. I don't want ANYONE to bear hunt!"

You know how many hunters I know that voted for this @$$hole. Absolutely pathetic, just like Obama, when the $hit hits the fan, they say "oh I didn't vote for him".....reap what you sow

He very well could, but to do nothing at all means nothing will happen.

If this goes through then f&g need to close all state land to dog walking. Or maybe there should be a rule that anyone an state land needs to have a fishing or hunting license. Like you have to use the gun range

 Then they can use money to get more Co to enforce the new and old rules.

This is crazy and hopefully a good fight is coming

I wonder if the Newark Watershed is included in this?  I hope not.  

That is private property, so I assume WS still huntable. All my spots are private, so I am good.

I’m actually surprised he didn’t cancel the hunt all together. It’s a setback but there are plenty of opportunities to kill a bear non state property.

I don't think he can stop it altogether or he would have . This is his effort on trying to make good on a campaign promise .  Hopefully it gets challenged and overturned .

Watershed is owned by a private company since the City of Newark lost it. Good to go in the watershed Rusty!

with banning the hunt on state owned lands will NJ loose out on these funds?

Any way to find out how much NJ will lose?

The best way to sway the 80-90% who doesn't care about the bear hunt would be to expose the a-hole Gov'ner for giving away $$s while he keeps increasing taxes on everyone.

the big state forests and WMAs  hold  a lot of bears.  Stokes, Whittingham, Bear Swamp, Wallkill, High Point, Kittatinny Valley, Hewitt, Mahlon-Dickerson, Allamuchy, and the list goes on.   Just allowing private won't even put a dent in a bear population that still is in desperate need of trimming.

just another reason to move. I've never bought a bear permit but will this year
