"New Jersey, which made no significant changes in its deer-management program last year, reported a 13 percent drop in its statewide deer harvest. Hunting is a far less significant activity there, however."

I hate places that make you sign up just to read an article. [mad]

The article is mostly about PA... just mentioned NJ.

Here's another headline I just saw...

"2004 New Jersey Black Bear Harvest down by 100%"

Ok, you caught me, it's not a headline, I made it up.

I bet you I know a stat that won't be down this year!... Bear complaints... I bet that number will be up from last year!

The bear complaints will be up this year, and by alot!!!!!

 

[JerseyJim]

It's funny but, I got so used to the bears in my yard that I stopped calling. Not this year! I'm calling every time one comes around!

Pa deer harvest is down this past year. our deer biologist, i should say " so called" says the herd is where it is suppose to be, but i didnt see hardly any deer during the rifle season, when in years before i saw 20-30 on the first day

Where did they get the NJ numbers? I've been waiting for them but haven't seen them released.

Granted I've been passing alot of small bucks but I didn't think it would have that much of an effect on the harvest!

 

[JerseyJim]

Look what you did Browning!

I read a report that said the 6 day shotgun season was about 30% down, but overall not sure

 

[JerseyJim]

I know I didn't help those numbers out!
