Same thing with the short lived bear seasonin NJ. Small #'s of bears andvery few tags were allowed to besold to even matter to the lawmakers. $$ drives it all people. As the bear #'s increase in NJ, you can bet there will be a hunting season. Antis have very little say when it comes to revenue that can be generated from bear hunting, damage caused to property from bears, and peoples' fear of bears. NJ hunters be patient, your bear season will be back.
