i hate to see the TWRA GO AWAY, although i disagree with many of their management goals. I do think it will come to pass, and i hope it doesnt.

How could anyone think this is a good thing?
If TWRA fixes what is broken, I for one think it's a great thing! Let's face reality, TWRA isn't going anywhere. If you read the article posted earlier, you would see the motive behind all of this. I have to agree with Speaker Kent Williams when it comes to communication from TWRA.

New Jersey Working On New Bear Management Plan
February 4, 2010
*Update* There will NOT be a public meeting that was scheduled for Feb. 9, 2010. But please contact your rep. on this. It’s very important that fish and game decisions be left in the hands of fish and game experts not political experts.
The New Jersey Fish and Game Commission is working on a black bear management plan that would include a hunt in the fall of 2010. According the the U.S. Sportsman’s Alliance, a meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9, 2010.
The new management plan is to be heard at the February 9 meeting of the FGC being held at the Central Region Office in the Assunpink Wildlife Management Area in Robbinsville. According to one of its main authors, Council Member Len Wolgast, the plan would allow for a bear hunt to take place this fall.
If passed, the plan must then go to the acting Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for final approval.
I reported a couple weeks ago about a new bill, Assembly Bill 181, which if passed, would take away the lone power of the director of the Environmental Protection Agency in New Jersey, to be able to cancel a hunt or plan approved of by the Fish and Game Commission. Previous EPA Director, Lisa Jackson, now head of Obama’s EPA, arbitrarily canceled all bear hunts and ignored a court-approved bear management plan.

Hunters Ask New Jersey Court To Unblock Permits for Bear Hunt
Published: November 10, 2004
TRENTON, Nov. 9
A group representing hunters argued on Tuesday that New Jersey's environment commissioner overstepped his authority when he refused to issue permits for an approved bear hunt next month.
Lawyers for a coalition of hunting groups, arguing before the Appellate Division of New Jersey Superior Court, said the hunt was an effective way to control the state's bear population without unduly harming it. They have sued the state Department of Environmental Protection and asked the court to let the hunt go on as planned.
A decision from the court could come as early as Wednesday.
In July, the New Jersey Fish and Game Council voted to hold a six-day black bear hunt in December. But last month, Commissioner Bradley M. Campbell of the Department of Environmental Protection ordered the department's Division of Fish and Wildlife, which enforces hunting and fishing rules, not to grant bear hunt permits this year. He also ordered all department-controlled land to be closed to a hunt.
Mr. Campbell said the state would rely on public awareness to reduce the threat of bear encounters and contraception programs to curb the bear population, which he said is around 1,600.
But hunting groups said Mr. Campbell had overstepped his bounds, and they argued on Tuesday that he had no authority to block permit applications.
''The commissioner does not have the authority to do this,'' said William Horn, a lawyer representing the hunters. ''State biologists have said that a bear hunt would not threaten the population, but the commissioner has his own agenda.''

New Jersey bear debate heats up as population, incidents rise
By Precious Petty
August 23, 2009, 12:31AM
Terri Ombrello, left, and Kelsey Burgess, of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, prepare a tranquilized young male black bear for transport near Millburn, N.J., in 2006. The 150-pound bear had wandered into Essex County not far from the Short Hills Mall.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection received 1,262 bear-related damage and nuisance complaints between January and July 20.
That's a 20 percent jump over the same period last year and evidence that the state's bear population is rising and encroaching on residential areas.
Some residents are calling on Gov. Jon Corzine, who suspended the state's annual bear hunt in 2006 to pursue a non-lethal management method, to reinstate it.
"This is a serious matter of public safety," state Sen. Steve Oroho, R-Sussex/Morris, said in a statement. "Adults and children alike in our communities are literally under attack because the bear population is not being adequately controlled."
State officials said no one has been injured by a bear since the hunt was canceled and activists in Oroho's district have been protesting bear killings.
