NJ has the best biologists watching over our wildlife.People who are against all hunting need to educate themselves about the populations of these animals in the past century.Deer,Turkeys, and Bears numbers are higher now than any time in the last 100 years.They are a renewable resource and if managed properly we will have healthy populations far into the future.People who act on emotions are not a friend to our wildlife.

Ill take a rug!

Bears were here first before people built their homes . Can't you find some other sport to keep you occupied. What about tranquilizing them and moving them away to another place if they are annoying. Its a dam shame to kill a beautiful animal.

Who wants to eat 300 LB Raccoon that feeds on garbage , Why not have a permit for TAGGED bears only . No real sportsman would shoot a cub or a mother bear with cubs .

It is my opinion that while bear sitings are down, that is simply because people are more used to seeing them around and not bothering to report it. It is my experience that I am seeing more bears. I love watching them, but of course, do not enjoy cleaning up the mess they sometimes make. Life always involves a tradeoff.

I think if you live in a bear's habitat, ie: rural Jersey, you should adapt. Take the proper precautions--keep garbage cans in the garage, etc. They are fun to watch. When there is a bear-human incident, it's because the human provoked the bear, or a mother bear was protecting her cubs. It's sad that we think we can move into an area and make the pre-existing animal populations adapt to us--by killing them.

Bear meat's good, but NOT if the bear's been dining on garbage. At that point it tastes like -- guess what ? -- GARBAGE.

This hunt has very little to do with sport -- it's simply a question of reducing the bear population to a point where they don't interfere TOO much with people.

It's not a bear hunt. It's a bear ambush. These hunters do not track a bear. It's a total massacre.. I would not call these people hunters. If you want to hunt go to Pennsyvania or NY State. It's all about revenue for NJ. It's all about paying the fish and game commission.

ANYONE WHO WOULD KILL A BABY ANY ANIMAL IS SICK IN THE HEAD!!

More people against the bear hunt than for it....so why is it still happening?? THis is a thrill kill trophy slaughter!!!!

The problem is our garbage, which is full of all those steriods and preservatives. Bears would much rather eat that then berries in the woods. Because of this they are having 4 to 5 cubs each year instead of 1. The town has asked over & over again to put your garbage out the morning of pick up not without even a lid the night before. I agree they are beautiful animals when they are in someone else's yard. I haven't had a bird feeder out in years and I put my garbage out the morning of pick up, but three times I've had a bear try to get in my house. Why, because I have parrot & the bear can smell a 1/2 cup of bird seed in my house. So now I can not open a window on my first floor. Like I said they are nice to look at in someone else's yard, not face to face at your window.

hunters will hunt whatever NJ FIsh & Game allows....... deer, bear, fox, coyote, geese, ducks, rabbits, etc. If Fish & Game determines you can't hunt them, then guess what?? they'll be protected like bobcats. the bear population must be healthy enough to warrant another hunt this year

It should only be called a 'sport' if the animal was able to hunt you with a gun as well. It is slaughter, not hunting, since the animal has no chance to fight back against someone using a gun or bow.

It is inhumane for those evil hunters with those big guns to kill these poor animals. They should be protected like other species. For instance, look at the nearly extinct -- but now THRIVING "NJ Monkey". When their habitat was restricted to the inner cities, their population rapidly increased (most probably that can be correlated with an increase in welfare and foodstamps). When they stray from their neighborhoods and prey on decent folk, they get put down like most diseased animals should.

The word "hunt" is incorrect. It should be called the bear slaughtering! Killing pure, innocent animals because they make a mess once in a while? Makes no sense!!

A limited bear hunt to keep the population in check and provide sport hunting opportunities in NJ is perfectly fine. That being said I moved near the woods because I like it here, there are suppose to be bears in the woods. I see them all the time and am not afraid of them. I dont think they are a threat to people at all.

I am all for the hunt! I did not climb to the top of the food chain to let any animal take over. Hunt the bears & the deer. I don't care if they were here first. There is plenty of room for the bears and the deer, right next to my mashed potatoes!

In all seriousness, I agree with a "controlled" limited hunting season to help thin the herd. Just be careful, and be safe.

HUNTING RULES!!!

These individuals who kill defenseless bears especially cubs are disgusting and nothing more than bullies. It's a shame we can't arm the bears. We've lived in northern NJ for 15 years have bears walk thru our yard and never have had a problem. If you don't bother them they won't bother you. Lets remember we moved into their area. Who are we to decide to eliminate them

A truly responsible hunter wouldn't kill a female Bear with cubs, or any cub for that matter. I am not a hunter, however I do support this hunt and any responsible hunter that engages in it.

These bears are true EVIL and should be destroyed! I have personally witnessed bears attack babies in strollers for no reason. The babies begged for their lives but the bears continued their onslaught. Several of my family members have been killed by these nasty nasty animals.Disgusting creatures, kill them all
