Eyesofthewoods Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Well I’ll be hunting PA for whitetail and their bear season runs the first week as well. Then I have a wedding for a cousin then finishing up deer season last seeking in PA. That being said seems like I will be missing out on both deer and bear season in NJ unless I can get out for a afternoon or morning last minute. Never know. Good luck!

At least Monday - possibly Wednesday, too. I am over 2 hours away. But I never bear hunted before, and want to give it a shot. I drove up yesterday morning, in fact (drive was 2 hours 15 minutes, roughly 110 miles). I had off work and wanted to put in some time scouting. I spent the morning scouting three spots (all in zone 3) that a couple NJWW members here graciously pointed me to. Found some great looking spots. The part that worries me (alot) is the drag. There are lots of hills, and in places there are thickets and shallow water to cross (roughly 12" deep - not quite to the tops of my rubber boots, but almost). I would definitely need help with the drag if lightning strikes and I harvest one. I was going to post a thread (I may still do) and ask who would be available to help with a drag if a member here needs it? I know some folks are willing to give a helping hand; I might need your number It is beautiful up there in the north. Nothing like this where I hunt. Just being up there will be nice - I won't be disappointed not punching my tag, as long as I can enjoy this (this is one of my pictures I took yesterday at one of the spots): At least 1-3 of us will be near you all 6 days and I have a quad with a game cart it hauls stored on our property. I also have the local CO’s cell number. hunterbob1, Black Bear Bowhunter and mazzgolf 3 https://www.troutscapes.com/ https://nativefishcoalition.org/national-board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temperature's that week will definitely play a factor in the harvest numbers. Too cold and the bear will not be on their feet, it'll be slow kind of like Murphy when he doesn't listen to the facts of the biologists, should have been a fall bow hunt. Oh wait was that for before political primaries.

Bill from NJ Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I plan to be out in the field for the duration. I have my permit for a bear, but will continue on my original quest to pursue deer only. If a bear presents itself, and is in a good presenting position, I will take the shot. If the bear is not presenting me with a clean shot, I will pass. Just like with the deer. My original goal is to bring deer meat home, a bear taken cleanly is just an added bonus.

Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratherbhunting Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I have never seen any bears in my area so I will most likely not even get a permit even though it is only $2.00. If I had a spot that had some bears I would travel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo's here not far from my house,sagedorn ironically where the president of the bear group lives in Glen Gardner. One made a mistake of walking onto the waliky farm before the season was closed.
