When I was a kid in the 1950s and 60s, the outdoor writer for the Trentonian newspaper would take a tour of the South Jersey clubs during deer week  every year and report on the number of deer each club bagged. I always looked forward to those reports. Sometimes there were even pictures of bagged deer. Times were way different then.  Does the Trentonian still exist and does it even have an outdoor writer?  I have not seen a copy of that newspaper in years. The way times are now with all the anti-hunters, I think the deer hunting reports ended many years ago.

Jim Bolton used to do it weekly in the Daily Journal down in Cumberland County. Real cool to read weekly reports from local hunters and fishermen.

Seeing more bad publicity than good this week. Seeing less about what’s been “good” and more what is bad. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Said ain't it. I grew up in Taylor Ham country.

UNION, N.J. (AP) _ Howard Brant, an outdoor columnist for The Star-Ledger in Newark for 34 years, died Saturday. He was 74. The cause of death was not immediately known.

His last column appeared in Sunday’s newspaper and recounted the results from the National Rifle and Pistol matches in Ohio. Brant himself was a state champion skeet shooter.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Brant worked selling and buying goods for Bamberger’s department store in Newark. In 1967, he began writing for The Star-Ledger about freshwater fishing after the store stopped selling guns and cut back on other outdoor goods.

Ugh, I was born about 40 years too late. I’m 34, just had a sliver of the old days with my dad as a kid. Wish I could still drive by effingers and see the deer hanging after opening day. We’ve lost so much tradition, break my heart.

As a kid in the 70's, 80's i couldn't wait for star ledger outdoor column written by Mr Brant. I was no road scholar in school. But would love reading his articles. 

Also the guy from the Home News , Rick something I forgot his last name, but always looked forward reading those columns

The trentonian is garbage. No outdoor writer. Herb Blackwell was who you referred to. He posted twice about gun club totals. On friday and agsin following week with final totals. Also listed any big bucks a club had hanging.  They were the good old days that will never happen again.

I used to enjoy reading his column as a kid.  My parents lived in Newark when they were first married, as did my grandparents when they came over from Ireland.  My father bought a shotgun from Bambergers in Newark when he was young.  I still have the receipt.  Can you imagine buying guns in Bambergers in Newark?  

Time have sure change!

They were good times back then. People were less likely to tell others how they should live their lives. Now they know what is good for you better than you do.

Yes, I believe it. My Dad and Uncle bought their Beretta Shotguns in Bambergers. My Uncle an O/U Silver Snipe and my Dad a S/S Silver Hawk. They came from Italy and lived in Newark.

I'm aware of one big club up in stokes who only have 6 in camp because of the covid.  I don't know if they  got anything, but can only assume they weren't driving  like they usually do.
