MAHWAH, NJ – The controversial New Jersey black bear hunt begins Monday in northwestern and central New Jersey.
The hunt is designed to control the state’s black bear population, which can be found throughout the Garden State, but are most common in the northwestern part of the state.
“Closely managed hunting is a key component of the state’s comprehensive approach for maintaining a sustainable bear population while reducing the potential for property damage and encounters with people.”
Hunters may kill one bear per hunt and no more than two.
