New Jersey would suspend bear hunting starting in 2021 under a plan announced Monday by Gov. Phil Murphy.

Murphy said during his latest coronavirus briefing in Trenton that the state Fish and Game Council, which in 2015 approved annual bear hunts as part of a 5-year management plan, is considering an amendment that would suspend it upon the conclusion of this year’s hunt.


“This means, drum roll, that the 2020 bear hunt — already limited to a few days in October and December and, pursuant to my 2018 executive order, not permitted on state lands — will be the last bear hunt under my administration,” the governor said.

There'll be great bear hunting in the NY and PA counties bordering NJ in a few years.

Probably lots of OT for troopers and fish and wildlife in the NJ suburbs, too.

I like a little chaos. Some stupid Karens hate the idea of mean nasty hunters shooting bears for sport, so they get their Karen governor to cease bear hunting. Well, when the bear population explodes and they have a 350 lbs sow with 2 cubs in tow going through their trash, let them reap what they sow.

Maybe the bears will eat a few of the Karens. Gotta be balance in nature.
