ok... so we gonna have a NJGF BB Hunt? The wife will probably kill me, but I want to participate.

[Jon 264]

I'd be very interested in bagging a bear, but what firearms will be legal to use? I assume slugs only, since centerfire rifles are not permitted for hunting in NJ.

i'll tag along if it's not to far of a drive, but if the big bastad charges im running

Really? Darn.. a 7.62x54R in the right place would take the bear right down

[sirsloop 1]

Pretty sure you need to use a shotgun with a rifled slug barrel and slugs only.... I personally would be using 3" Mag slugs and hunting with someone slower than me You are right tho... a .308, 30-30, 30-06, 7.62x54R... all capable of taking a BB.

YUP only shotguns I believe. They may let bow's but you arn't going to see me shooting a bear with a bow.

 

I will be getting a permit and will be trying like hell to get a bear. We shall see what happens.

 

Or as Ron White once said "I was doing 55 with my head lights on and the horn blowin, and I got em."

That's deer, not bear.

 

Malusa has bear coming on his property - just go to his house

If he's inside one of the hunting area's that sounds like a great idea! Man that would be so AWESOME to bag a BB!

My philosphy has always been, never shoot a sharp stick at any animal that runs faster than you do....especially one that may see you as a food item.

I would do crossbow... Also, with the distance limit for bow being reduced to 150 ft from a house, I may have to pay Mark a visit

[sirsloop 1]

shoot, trip your buddy, then run

[Malsua 1,422]

Just hang out on the roof of my shed. You'll bag a 300+ lb bear in the first day. Of course you gotta gut it in my neighbor's yard.

I mean more along the lines of dragging it to a car and getting it home to do that. Forgive the newb question but I have never actually heard good things about bear meat.

 

The wife has no problem with deer meat but bear meat? I guess where I ma going with this is if I were to go on this hunt, I don't plan on eating it. What would my options be then?

 

Thanks for the link!

Trenton, NJ --(AmmoLand.com)- The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is currently offering Bear Hunting Seminars, which uncertified hunters must attend in order to obtain a permit for the bear season included in the recently adopted Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy (CBBMP).

 

The CBBMP will become effective upon publication in the NJ Register in early fall.

 

Certifications remain valid for hunters who attended a NJ Bear Hunting Seminar from 2003 to 2006. Those who are interested in bear hunting but do not have certification are encouraged to register for a seminar as soon as possible.

 

The first round of seminars is now posted at www.wildlifelicense.com/nj/ALS/course/course_report.php where hunters must register to attend. Seminars will be offered throughout the fall, including the weekend before the season to accommodate hunters coming from out-of-state.

 

The bear hunt will be held in portions of a 1,000 square-mile area north of Route 78 and west of Rt. 287 in Morris, Sussex, Warren and Passaic counties. The black bear permit application period opens on October 1; hunters will be able to apply at any license agent or on the division

Shotguns only.

3in slugs nicely aimed behind the leg do the trick. Break the leg, drop the bear, dont deal with a 400lb pissed bear that is going to charge for about 25-50 yards before it bleeds out trying to perfect a lung shot on an animal that big.

 

I am totally going out again this winter for a bear.

If you do not want to eat the meat, you can donate it, or just take it to the taxidermist and have the hide done, Bear meat is not that bad, some parts are gamier, but if you grind it up and make burger or sausage, mix it with pork. Do not use the fat from the bear if you can, there is a lot of flavor in it and can change everything...

 

 

ASk around and see what others do with the meat.

 

For me if I kill it and it is not spoiled I eat it. (provided there are no worms in the meat, common problem in Canadian bear)

I have signed up for both classes, (basic and bear) thanks to this info.

 

Now all I need is a long rifle
