Who here will be out seeking a NJ Black Bear this year, and where will you be hunting?

I will be out there seeking my buck, and a bear. I'll be in Sussex County

Well, if we actually get to hunt them, I will be in Northern Sussex. I probably will just devote the entire 6-day to bears like I did in 2003, and let the bucks go!


If we dont get to hunt them, I may just take a break, and wait for winter bow. 6-day is too nuts for me, I like peaceful, quiet woods, void of humans.


Good luck to all, and keep your fingers crossed it happens.[up]

where I hunt it is voided of people, I may see 1 or 2 hunters that I don't know.

 

[Matty]

Del Water Gap?

I was in Highpoint for the last hunt, and I didnt see anyone till the snow was gone. I was WAY up in there, and no one would walk in that far!

Down here by me though, if you go out for 6-day deer, you run into everyone and their mother! Its absurd. I cant enjoy myself. If it werent for the possibility of a bear hunt these past couple years, I probably would have sold my Rem. 870 slug gun already.

 

[Guest]

Im just south of High Point, and the key is like you said, get in deep

I WOULD LOVE TO HUNT THEM, BUT I HAVE TO TAKE THE THREE HOUR COURSE FIRST ,THIS WOULD BE MY FIRST TIME.[up][up]

rutnbk - rumor has it that this year will be a home study course for the bear permit.

P.S. - I sat thru the seminar last year.

Maybe, maybe not. Details still need to be ironed out.

Someone keep me informed as to what i would need to be able to hunt bear here

 

[JJoe]

I'm ready....[up]

 

[Double G]

[up] I'm in, took the course last year but no hunt. I read that the permits will be for zones this time. I think they chopped the bear zone into 5 and will issue a different number of permits in each one. Who knows???

A male could be quite a bit larger by now. For example, my uncle's bear was 260lbs and under 2 years old. Females, maybe half as big.

 

[Dragthor]

jrhunt - no bear hunting in Mendham...I think only between Rt. 80 and west of Rt. 287.

 

[jrhunt]

That Bear was on my Sussex property. Andover

 

[BROWNING 10 GA]

I would like to go. Hunted the first season at Stokes State Forest but didn't see any bears.

Count me in for the hunt.
