Good article.

 

It's funny how in the comment section none of the bear crybabies chimed in.

Yes, a good article.  The criticism will come from the bear groupies saying the data on the population is flawed and the numbers are inflated because it's impossible to count every bear. In addition to "anecdotal evidence" such as "I live in bear country and never see bears so how is it possible that there are 2500 of them" BS.  On top of that, they will claim the bias of DFW toward "inflating" numbers to justify the hunt.  

 

Science only matters to liberals when it supports their neo-marxist agenda.   

 

My deepest fear is that when the hunt is canceled and the numbers go way up, that some unmindful young child playing in the backyard of some house is killed by a bear.

That article points out many of the things I did a few days ago in an early thread here - I recommend everyone read that NJ DFW status report that is linked in that thread and that news article. It's chock full of scientific data that supports the bear hunt and is the perfect refutation to the anti-science environmental activists like the anti-bear hunting groups and even our new governor who wants to stop the bear hunt to "study the bear issue." (note to governor, that has already been done - read the report and the studies it references!)

The bear nuts don't care, they would rather see hunters dead. As for the poor child that gets killed, they'll blame the child. You cannot reason with Crazy.

Between the logging and the reduced bear population there has been a noticeable increase in the deer population on Sparta Mt WMA.  Bears have a significant impact on fawn recruitment each year.

They tend to go away when their arguments are confronted by facts but they'll be back claiming the scientific data is on their side
