RE: NJ bear hunters
Aught Six had it about right. NJ has been a hotbed for anti activity for the last 5-10 years. One god thing is it has caught the attention of sportsmen and made them active.
The biggest lesson every other state can learn is to become proactive. I've seen it many times where people say "It can't happen in MY state" and the next thing you know they are banning some type of hunting or gun ownership.
