New Jersey Bear Hunt
Results
New Jersey’s six-day bear
hunting season ended with a reported total of 328 bear taken by hunters. According to the New Jersey Department of
Fish, Game and Wildlife, this represents approximately 10% of the bear
population in New Jersey. Sixteen of the bears killed had been
previously identified as nuisance bears.
The hunt, which took place in northern and western New Jersey, was
approved to help reduce the black bear population. It went forward in
spite of attempts by anti-hunting groups to halt it.
The Association supports the bear hunt and hunter's rights in
New Jersey.
