Hunters killed a total of 336 bears in the first segment of New Jersey\u2019s black bear hunt, exceeding the number of bears killed during last year\u2019s entire hunt.<\/em><\/p>\n

October 5, 2020 \u2013 New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced<\/a> that this year\u2019s controversial bear trophy hunt would be the last under his administration. The Governor said the New Jersey Fish and Game Council proposed an amendment to its bear management plan that would effectively suspend the annual trophy hunt in 2021.<\/p>\n

Although Gov. Murphy\u2019s plan brings promise, for hundreds of New Jersey\u2019s black bears, it\u2019s too little, too late.<\/p>\n

Last week, between October 12 and 17, hunters killed 336 black bears for trophy, including mother bears with cubs. This total exceeds that of the entire 2019 bear hunting season when hunters killed a total of 315 bears during the October and December hunting segments. With the second six-day hunt scheduled to begin on December 7, this year\u2019s death toll will climb even higher before the close of 2020.<\/p>\n

New Jersey\u2019s bear hunt is particularly cruel. New Jersey is one of two states that allow hunters to kill bears of any age \u2013 even cubs. The other state that allows such cruelty is Alaska.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the 21st century, New Jersey. Trophy hunting is cruel and inhumane.<\/p>\n
