I am against anyone shooting a sow with 1 year old cubs in tow, and I am disgusted by any moron who will shoot a cub this week.
IT Is a management hunt but i agree 100percent.WE NEED TO BE GOOD HUNTERS NOT ASSHOLES THAT GIVE THE ANTIS FUEL FOR THEIR FIRE AND SHOOTING CUBS AND SOWS AINT HELPING HUNTERS ANY.WE NEED TO BE THE ADULTS NOT THEM.AND I DONT BELIEVE WE HAVE ALOT OF BEARS LIKE THE STATE CLAIMS.

Now I understand your arrogant rebuttal, I forgot Ted Nugent is your idol. Monkey see monkey do.
ive seen your photos and you got sum impressive trophies however i concu.im glad this topic got alot of feedback.i guess its a matter of preferance i personally wouldnt shoot sow or cub managed or not we have to protect our resources this years cub can be 2yrs later a monster bruin.

I have no idols, but getting back to my question, what is the reason you are against shooting a small bear?  If it's purely emotional, I can understand that but I was hoping you had some logical reason...
joedrj is the real deal check out his pix hes a real trophy hunter he speaks wisely and ill back em up

This is all about a body count. If you want another bear hunt next year shoot em. You can trophy hunt after the season is set in stone. I don't want to hear the antis saying "See there is no difference in the population after the hunt". And it being true.
the animal rights activist or protesterhave no say in the matter they think they do they dont let them bicker thats all they do.THEY HAVENT MADE ANY DETRIMENTAL IMPACT FINANCIALLY TO HELP WILDLIFE OR RESTORATION FOR FORESTY EVER THEY ARE A ORGANIZED TERROR NETWORK

corzine didnt want it too much.i think it was a hassle for him i think things will favor us more with christie.the protesters werent the ones that stopped the hunt the state did cuz the qouta was met.it had nothingto do with the protesters.but i know one thing for sure is that these local pds upnorth dont like spending time or manpower monitoring the protest but the newscasters and tabloids love it

What planet were you on for the last 5 years??
planet south jersey i fifnt hunt 5 yrs ago also for bear.i didnt want to get involved in a tallyhoe with the treehuggers and i didnt want someone telling me how to kill bear.it wasnt worth my time nor hassle.you seem to dispute anything i post whats up with that.do you have the answers and knowledge of ewverything.PROTESTERS DIDNT STOP ANYTHING OR ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING SO DONT LET THEM THINK THEY DID CUZ THEY DIDNT IF THE STATE WANTED THE BEAR HUNT ANNUALLY AND THEY KNOW IT WOULD GENERATE REVENUE WE WOULD HAVE IT

this post was about who would shoot a sow with cubs or just shooting cubs.imo i thnik that shooting cubs and having a treehugger see your harvest would just stir the pot more.hey i aint hunting up there so it doesnt bother me one bit.i just wanted some light on the situation cuz ANYONE THATS A TRUE HUNTER KNOWS ITS A WASTE TO SHOOT A CUB OR SOW WITH CUBS.
