Yesterday, was the first New Jersey black bear archery hunt in more then fifty years. The Animal Rights Activists had their signs protesting at the state weight-in tagging station. As hunters drove in with their bears they were called murderers, cowards and other nasty names. Three protesters were arrested by the NJ state police. I attached the newspaper photos and the story link in my first post. Will it ever end? These misinformed folks have been protesting NJ bear hunts since the year 2003. They lost, the bear hunt is here to stay. Move on people, life is short. Any opinions?

Attached photos and the story link below.
In photo three, the activists brought flowers for the Bears that were harvest.
In photo four, they paid big bucks to put up a few road billboard signs against the bear hunt.
What a waste of money.

These activists have no solution for the bear opopulation explosion.
Sterilization does not work. You will never catch all the Bears to sterilized them.
All these do-gooders do, is bitch and complain.

In IA there are anti-harassment laws which should prevent that kind of thing. Not sure on the laws out there in NJ.
That dork with the arrow through his hat was especially idiotic. Wonder what he was trying to prove with that?
I don't waste my time worrying about what the outright anti-hunters think. They're going act the way they act, regardless of what hunters do. The only people who we should be concerned about are the ones who don't hunt, but don't oppose it, either. They are the key to the survival of our way of life.

HFT, Last year, two animal rights activists harassed a father and his son while bear hunting in Jersey. We also have Hunter harassment laws here. Charges were filled by the park policeman against he PETA nuts. The antis filed counter charges against the father for pointing a gun at them. It's was total bs but they are using that as a defense. Both charges were later dropped. The father didn't want a felony charge hanging over him so he wanted out. The Antis lied but it worked. The state needs to put an undercover police officer in the bear woods walking around as a bear Hunter. You need to set the liars up.

Move out of New Jersey!

Maybe, if I was younger I would.

Give them a taste of what it's really like and set up a tailgate party serving bear brats at the station.
While out pheasant hunting yesterday with my grandson a group of Minnesotans started yelling insults at us. The harassment is never ending.
