Bucndoe Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 5 hours ago, DJ0808 said: 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. Everything is the same except the small changes about shooting small bears, shooting from a family unit, and baiting. Other than that its all the same as before There is nothing more intolerant than a liberal preaching tolerance God gives the toughest battles to his strongest soldiers "Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ bear hunters seem to be happy shooting one and never another. I fell into that category myself. But I’m back at it this year! Yea i could see them not selling out the last few because of the hunt ban on federal land bs stunt he pulled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear meat is delicious! Sounds like a good plan. I'd be interested. kamo_krimpets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHC Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hunting them is fun, and took my share of them here in NJ over the bear hunting years. But the novelty of the hunt is over for many, getting it out of the woods is a lot of work, then finding a butcher which can be expensive, and of course the taxidermist bill, I do recommend if you're successful spend the money to have some sort of mount done.....so I can see how many get hyped to hunt them, but afterward they lose interest Bucksnbows, Mixbaghunter and hunterbob1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a strict supporter of the ban bear hunt, I find it ironic that he and his family are friends with the family of the little boy from Morris County that got attacked a few weeks ago now out of the blue he says a hunt is needed DonW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazzgolf Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 One thing they didn't mention in the announcement that I hope they change... Check in requirements. They should do away with check in stations and allow online check-in. No need to let the wack-a-doodle protestors threaten hunters anymore. Hope they talk about that during the meeting on the 15th.

Again with the anti check-in like you did with the turkey.👎 The check-in is for the biologist that will be present to gather the facts,,bear can travel up to 50 miles,they check the teeth the claws,for age ,they weigh it and some have collars and some have tags.

Then they need to treat it as a biological research tool and not as a political opportunity for the wack jobs to vent their frustrations in front of the media and threaten hunters.

You've never been there so you don't know it is not like that. The protesters are there on the other side of the road with the state police in between them and us, no issues! Call me old fashion but the check stations bear, deer,turkey we're part of the greatest part of the post hunt for me, metal tags seals checked in anywhere from a Mom and Pop gas station to a tavern. Intermingling with biologist's and fellow hunter's from Maine to Florida handshakes and sharing stories taking pictures with real cameras with film was priceless!!!!
