I'd say, "I predicted it" (because I did) but then again, if a lawsuit WASN'T filed this close to the season opener, that would have been a surprise. === I'm moving this up to the OP from a later comment I posted in this thread - this is important to understand: This goes above and beyond just a bear hunt. It will effect every hunter, trapper, and angler. You should have interest in this even if you are not a bear hunter. Do you just hunt deer? This will affect you! Do you just hunt waterfowl? This will affect you! Do you just freshwater fish? This will affect you! From the NJSFSC email: "This time is another angle to stop the bear hunt once and for all. And another attempt to end the NJ Fish & Game Council as we know it." Read what Lesniak and his environmental extremists have been threatening to do (and what they have apparently now done). He is suing to eliminate the current make-up of the 11-member NJ Fish and Game Council. He wants to strike down the statute that allows the NJSFSC to nominate 6 council members and that allows for 3 farmer representative on the Council. In effect, they want their anti-hunting, anti-fishing, anti-trapping, anti-science animal rights extremists on the Council - and you can imagine what that will do to all the rules and regulations that effect all hunters, trappers, and anglers, not to mention the havoc it will cause for our wildlife populations and public land management. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.
