...and forming "bear rescue teams" with plans to tend to wounded bears...

Somehow, this seems like a particularly stupid thing to attempt.

[Travis McGee]

Gee, I'd really hate to miss a bear and hit a bliss-ninny by accident.......

...camouflage-clad bear hunters hit the fields and forests here Monday...

OK, as a non-hunter (not an anti-hunter, please note), I have to confess some confusion. Camouflage? I thought hunters were supposed to wear blaze orange so as to avoid shooting each other. Are bears colorblind? How about deer and other quarry? Does wearing orange decrease your odds?

I am so sad I just got my hunting license but you need a bear seminar and tag to hunt bear. I missed the tag applicitation deadline and therefore did not take the bear seminar. THen last week they announced there are thousands of tags left over.

High velocity lead poisening is a much better way to die than what we do to chickens and cattle. Bear is just another meat for the dinner table and I'm all for "wild" game. Much healthier.

Hi All-

Ever notice that the knuckleheads writing letters to the newspapers saying how "terrible" the bear hunt is live in places like Cape May, Hoboken, Colts Neck, or somewhere else where bears AREN'T found? They might not be protesting quite so loudly if they had large bearprints in the snow three feet from their back door.

"Today, for us, is a very sad day," said Lynda Smith, president of Bear Education and Research, one of two groups that unsuccessfully sued to delay the hunt. "They're here to kill them, we're here to help them."

Lynda, you gonnna help them some day eat your babies?

This is so stupid, one has a problem even commenting.

Lord have mercy, these are wild animals who have their territory shrunk. How about Lynda go out and trank shoot 'em and bring the to live in her home? Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Baby Bear. Give them soft comfy beds, porridge and tea?

[Ladysmith]

Over here! Your post was a hoot - great to see that old clip again! Those were the days...

[Vaquero]

a reason to put the fear of God into the wild animals that we share the planet with. (animal who are hunted regularly have a healthy fear of man)

Bears have been spotted in each of New Jersey's 21 counties

Including Hudson County? Can't imagine Ursus Americanus rummaging through trash in Jersey City or Hoboken.

About a dozen hunt opponents gathered at a weigh station at Wawayanda State Park on Monday, confronting hunters and forming "bear rescue teams" with plans to tend to wounded bears...

BWAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAA.

Oh please, that's just TOO GOOD. Your killing me.

[Tall_Texan]

THESE Bears have come out of hibernation this fall. Be vary afraid.

[lawdude]

FOX showed a clip earlier of a supposed hunter behind a tree with rifle on his shoulder. The talking voioce was waxing on about these hunters.

I swear, it looked like the guy was taking a leak behind the tree and somewhat POed about the camera.

[Dan from Michigan]

If I'm ever harassed by the animal rights wackos, I'll make them pay in spades....

Since I'm going to call the DNR and sheriff who will go medeival on their asses. $500+ for violating the hunter harassment law.
