For the first time in its 50-year history, the Nature Conservancy's New Jersey chapter has allowed hunters on one of its preserves to help cull an overabundant deer population eating its way through the state's forests.

The fact that the Nature Conservancy, an agency committed to protecting wildlife and its habitat, has called for a hunt signifies the role deer play in devastating the state's ecology.

"This isn't a trophy hunt," said Kris Krause, the Morris County representative for the group. "We are in there to help them create a healthy forest."

The conservancy charged the United Bow Hunters of New Jersey with the mission of killing 15 does on the Blair Creek Preserve, 485-acre tract of land straddling Sussex and Warren counties.

That's great Drag!
Glad to see that these traditionally anti-hunting organizations are finally beginning to see the light.

I was in the club that hunted that property 2 yeays ago. Nice property, hard to pattern deer. Too much food (acorns every where you look) And WAY TOO MANY BEARS!!!!! Started to carry mace because of the amount.If you hunt by the Fairview Lake section lock your car doors . Crazy anti-hunter lady lives at the end of the road and harrasses the hunters.
