Jersey Allows Sunday Hunting!
« on: May 04, 2009, 11:00:00 PM »
Here is an excerpt...Finally the Jersey Boys and some of us non residents can bowhunt that extra day on the weekend....

Congratulations! The Governor has signed Sunday Bow hunting into law!

In only 18 months since anglers, hunters, trappers and conservationists of all types "united" through a grassroots effort and sent two uninformed legislators packing - New Jersey's "anti" culture has been turned on its ear.

This whole "No Hunting on Sunday" idea is so strange to me. How and Why did this come about? Not only in NJ, but other states as well. Maybe us Kentucky folks are just a bit spoiled.

The great bow twanged. The black arrow sped straight from the string, straight for the hollow
by the left breast where the foreleg was flung wide. In it smote and vanished, barb, shaft,
and feather, so fierce was its flight.~J.R.R. Tolkien-The Hobbit

Great news for the folks who bow hunt New Jersey! Second task on the list has now moved up to number one...! Can we get these same folks united in a effort to do the same thing for the Black Bears that seem to have taken over the entire state? Just had to ask if we can keep the movement going in the right direction!!!

Congrats.  I've always thought those laws were a bit strange and really hard on most working men and women.  Best of luck to other states with the same limitations.

I believe the Sunday hunting laws are much like liquor sales on Sunday, there because of a strong religious history in the area. Delaware didn't allow Sunday liquor sales until about 6 or 7 years ago, but just across the state line in Maryland it was okay.  Still no Sunday hunting in Delaware.  I'm not holding my breath waiting for it either.  A very strong horseback riding lobby, they ride on State property on Sundays and don't want to give it up.

Way to go guys...I have spent a lot of time in Jersey with the Army(guard), and I cant agree more about the bears!! We lost a whole weekend worth of training because the bears wanted out MRE's! That was years ago...Im sure the bears have multiplied since then.

The news was sent to me by my hunting buddy Bamboo...

Now...its time to start pushing for open archery seasons on Black Bears...something has to be done about the bears before some innocent young kids have a run in with sows and cubs while waiting for school buses or playing in their backyards.

Keep the letters flowing to the politicians!
