Just like deer. 🤔 Welfare and criminals fit in there somewhere lol Not a complete a$$ hole just one of the dingle berries that hang off it.

hostak126 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Murphy has a 4 year lame duck term, but I do agree @Merkel . Fish and Wildlife warned him what would happen without a hunt and now he's getting an earful from concerned citizens as well as all of us that emailed and called into his office.

Why would anyone in their right mind (not directed at you) be remotely concerned about that when he has plenty of city gun violence and COVID deaths related to him on his hands.

LPJR Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I am not going to hunt bears, but wish everyone who does the best of luck...They need to be controlled, especially in Sussex County. BUT, I will believe that the hunt will happen----ONLY when and if it actually does this year.....

OldMenRule Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Granted I'm a cynic but likely there will be a lawsuit to stop the hunt giving Il Duce the perfect out while appeasing both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However... I remember when we did have the hunt, people complained that they weren't seeing any bears during that late season because the bears were already starting to hunker down for hibernation. Not sure if that will be the case this year, too. There's camping in Stokes State Forest. Tent/trailer sites and leantos. The tent/trailer site doesn't have water and elec hookup. The leantos have a woodstove for heat. Billy and i stayed up there in 1 during 6 day of 2016. There's another campground nearby that's not State run and has cabin like facilities with electric and possibly bathrooms in them Rusty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ0808 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hoping more details will come out after Nov 15th F&G meeting, but any inklings on if this will be a permit hunt or will general hunting license suffice? Thinking it would be difficult to do a permit given they want to have hunt during 6-day firearm, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A human-bear fatality should be a cake walk for him...... No offense taken. You raise a good point. Perhaps the differences are Murphy specifically campaigned on ending the bear hunt. Whereas he can blame city gun violence on the perennial liberal view that there are too many guns in circulation and the need for more gun restrictions. On covid, last year Monmouth University did a poll. It showed that 62% people that Murphy did a good job handling covid. So who knows. chenrossi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly hard to blame Covid deaths on Murphy. I was working in multiple hospitals at that time and bed space was at a premium, literal panic had set in and of course little was known about the virus and how it was spread. That said I wonder if any of that 62% lost someone they loved in a nursing home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
