wish you guys the very best of luck to get your bear hunt!!! We had a uphill battle here in New Jersey for a few years, and last year we finally had our first bear hunt in over 30yrs. I was lucky enough to harvest a bear, we had a harvest total of 328 bears mostly females, but some huge males were taken. We are again having a season this year, but it can be stopped by those who want to stop it. So once again good luck and safe hunting.
