I disagree. I've taken 4 bears in Sullivan County, were finishing up the meat on the bear I got last year, the last 2 bear stews have been awesome, after 20 yrs, my wife has gotten it down pat.
That record will stand for a long time as the new Governor elect, A big supporter of PETA, has said he's going to impose a moratorium on any future bear seasons in favor of "non lethal" methods. NJ sportsmen are F'd, back to the old days.
I️m hunting Long Island today and my wife who works in oyster bay Nassau county, sends me this pic she took of a buck standing next to her car, and he can’t be touched.
My wife had a buck run across the road this morning here on L.I. with 6ft worth of orange plastic portable fencing entangled in his antlers, poor guy. We're keeping an eye out for him, hopefully it's comes off.
We'll sort of, Sagamore Hill National Historic site, home of Theodore Roosevelt, currently has a display on the front lawn of 185 bedded Roosevelt Elk. The art display depicts Elk that have come to thank TR for his efforts in preserving federal land were the Roosevelt Elk now flourish.
