Monmouth County residents take action. Send an email supporting this hunt or attend the Freeholder meeting on 9/11 @ 7:00
Email all Monmouth County Freeholders Freeholder Meeting Schedule Resident to fight bow-hunting plan Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 09/7/07 BY BOB JORDAN FREEHOLD BUREAU A Wall resident is planning to again press the Monmouth County freeholders to curtail plans by the county park system to bring bow hunting to two areas where weapons, including bows, cannot be discharged under town rules. But park system officials contend they are not bound by municipal ordinances in effect for two areas of Shark River Park to be open for hunting beginning Oct. 27. Gary Faraci, who lives on Gully Road in Wall, said he will ask the freeholders to intervene at their meeting next week. He said on Thursday they have been unresponsive to previous requests. The park system, established in 1960, is run by a semiautonomous board of commissioners, but the freeholders make funding decisions and appoint the commissioners. Faraci said he intends to cite a recent Michigan Supreme Court ruling upholding the right of cities to ban the use of firearms and bows within their limits, even if it supersedes state hunting regulations. The freeholder board on Tuesday will have a workshop meeting at 2 p.m. and a regular meeting at 7 p.m. in Freehold at the Hall of Records. The meetings are typically held on Thursdays, but the schedule was changed because of Rosh Hashanah observance. The Wall parcels in question are the Remsen Mill Road tract, where hunting was allowed by the county for the first time last year without township officials realizing the contradiction with Wall's regulation, and the Belmar Boulevard tract, new to the county hunting program this year. Park system spokeswoman Susan Walsh said the areas were approved for bow hunting after several public hearings earlier this year. Walsh said the park system has been advised by County Counsel Malcolm V. Carton that municipalities "based on precedent" don't have authority to enforce their zoning regulations on county-owned land. Faraci said he was denied in a request to review documents related to Carton's advice, being informed that the opinion was protected by "attorney-client privilege," he said. Walsh said there are actually no such documents. She said it was her "understanding" that Carton delivered his opinion to commissioners verbally. Wall officials have also protested the planned hunt. The municipal no-discharge rules were put in place "to provide for the safety of our residents," Wall Township Attorney Roger J. McLaughlin said in a recent letter asking park officials to take the zoning regulations into consideration. |

copy of the email I sent...
Just wanted to write a quick note regarding the bow hunting at Shark River Park, Wall, NJ. I am not a Monmouth county resident but do support the Monmouth County park system management of the deer herd. Living close to Monmouth county borders I regularly visit the Monmouth county parks and they are the best facilities out there. Deer management should be based on science by professionals, not emotional outburst. I have applied for and received a permit to hunt the parks this year and was impressed with the overall process. The professional process the park rangers discussed with me regarding rules and regulations was very thorough and heavily based on safety. By hunting out of trees arrows are shot in a downward trajectory at a maximum of 30-40 yards. Plus safety zones are setup 450 feet from an occupied dwelling. Chances of an accident are greatly reduced with this process in place. Great parks, let keep them that way by not allowing one species (deer) to eat everything and destroy an ecosystem. |

Email all Monmouth County Freeholders 
Please allow Monmouth County Parks to proceed with the Remsen Mill Road tract (Wall Township) in its deer management program. As per the previous public meetings, it has been approved and welcomed by residents of Wall Twp. The Monmouth County Parks Deer Management Program has been a success since it's induction, without incident. The Program is recognized State-wide and nation-wide as the best and most cost effective means to control the deer population in suburban environments. The deer numbers need to be controlled in order to preserve and maintain these parks, reduce deer/car collisions, and slow the spread of Lymes Disease in our expanding suburbs. __________________ "...but to protest against all hunting of game is a sign of softness of head, not soundness of heart."
