NJ Bear Hunters Need Your Help – Take a Minute to Leave a Comment

ACTION: please click the link below and leave a comment in support for scientific based bear management. – AmmoLand.com



Trenton, NJ –-(AmmoLand.com)- It's imperative that anyone interested in reintroducing the concept of “conservation” to Trenton, and reminding our legislators and policy makers that we conservationists support and expect sound game management policy, attend the bear policy meeting on Tuesday.

Regardless of whether or not there is a bear hunt our attendance demonstrates our commitment to the outdoors and that we are willing to get out of our comfort zones whether it's to support a bear hunt or to prove we will go to the polls to vote in elections.

Our attendance is not as much about a bear hunt as it is our willingness to show we are grassroots activists in our support for fishing and hunting as game management tools that support sensible conservation policy.

ACTION: As the Anti's have stated below: “You do not have to be a NJ resident to comment on the policy. Your comments do not need to be long. They can just be a few sentences.”

Here is a suggested comment you can copy and paste after following the link below:

I support the proposed bear management plan. Please do not be swayed by a few vocal minority groups as they do not represent opinion of the majority of people that support science based wildlife management.

PS – Below is a release from animal extremists. They apparently will be renting buses to bring people to Trenton as a show of their support of granting “rights” to animals as a means of conservation policy.

—————————————————————————————– The NJ Fish and Game Council is now accepting public comments on their draft Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy, which includes hunting. Hunting is cruel to the bears, and will not reduce human/bear conflicts. The best way to reduce human/bear conflicts is by controlling garbage and other bear attractants. A recent survey [by HSUS] found that an overwhelming majority of NJ voters favor non-lethal management of bears. The deadline for submitting comments is June 18, 2010. Comments can be submitted via regular mail: Larry Herrighty
