Ridgewood NJ , Today marks the second day of New Jersey’s yearly black bear hunt. The hunt began yesterday morning, with hunters killing 122 bears.
The hunt runs until sunset Saturday, concurrent with the firearm deer hunting season, in an area north of Interstate 78 and west of Interstate 287.The hunt aims to control the state’s black bear population, now estimated at about 2,900 in the hunting area, about 500 fewer than in 2010.
Environmental Protection Department biologists expect a harvest similar to last year’s, when 469 bears were killed.
In Ridgewood we don’t hunt bears we wrestle them . No bears are hurt during the matches and our former mayor Keith Killion though retired is still the world title holder.
Is Keith coming back ?
Is he “focused like a lazer?”
Keith is not coming back… he knows better.
Keith lost by only 11 votes but he ain’t comming back
