IT'S OFFICIAL Panter & Karcher are OUT!

[apmaurosr]

Beck, O'Scanlon and Casagrande are the new representatives of District 12. The "head" of the animal rights beast has been lopped-off and the gateway that Panter and Karcher were for extremists to enter Trenton is now closed.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the grassroots effort to awaken Trenton to the influence of sportsmen and sportswomen.

In an extraordinary sense the outdoor community is indebted to Assemblyman Panter and Senator Karcher. Their bills have united anglers, hunters, trappers, shooters and conservationists into a 1,000,000 strong voting bloc, while exposing the animal rights community as extremists whose values are on the fringes of society.

The New Jersey Outdoor Alliance will continue its mission by formalizing relationships with the Recreational Fishing Alliance and the individuals that make up the approximately one thousand angling, hunting, trapping, shooting and conservation organizations throughout New Jersey.

It is reassuring to see an electorate clearly choosing the principles of conservation over the folly of politics for management of New Jersey’s natural resources.

Thanks to every outdoors-person who got involved in changing the status quo and for reminding Trenton that we should never again be marginalized by the extreme elements of society.

We will need to be ever vigilant and involved in the political process to ensure that our outdoor heritage is never again compromised by the relentless assaults from disaffected groups like NJARA, Animal Protection PAC, Humane USA, PETA, ALF and politicians the likes of Panter and Karcher.

I can assure you that these groups will be continuing their attempt to open the backdoors of Trenton.

We have seen first-hand the power of our vote! Make sure to enlist those that are not registered so that they will make a difference in elections to come.

Good fishing, hunting, trapping, shooting, kayaking, etc. - and thanks to all the conservationists that make it possible for us to enjoy the outdoors!

That's good to hear, but more importantly, how long until you Jerseyites get to blast those bears?

FF,

I'm not a hunter but i keep up with the story.

From what my understanding is, that the last court ruling basically said that the Fish and Game Council when approving the Hunt several years ago for the first time in a long time, had not followed the " Process " properly, making the regulations to allow bear hunts illegal.

Therefore when the Director of the NJ DEP Lisa Jackson pulled the plug on the hunt it was OK, but not ok.

They did rule that it was NOT her call to usurp the authority of the fish and game council, but since they were out of turn in putting in the Bear Hunt reg outside of the correctly excecuted process then is was OK.

How fked up is that. Two wrongs make a right!

So my assumption is that the process will start all over again , this time with Div of Fish and Game and The Fish and Game Council carefully dotting I's and Crossing T's and then someone will throw another monkey wrench in it again.

This is the short version, I am sure there are those more well versued in what actually happened.

you Jerseyites

I heard a rumor.. aren't you originally from the Garden State of New Jersey yourself?

If that is correct, and let's just assume it is...for argument sake...

Wouldn't that make you also a.... (I dare say) "Jerseyite"?

If that is the case, wouldn't be like the black bear calling the black bear a black bear now would it?


Oh well.. just asking. Not wishing to hurt anyone in particular feelings you know.

As always, just asking.. with a smiley at the end

Golly, that was so long ago, we were called "Jerseyans" then.

Now, it is my understanding that a Jerseyite is one who longs to be, in a sense, closer to the Garden State, whereas a Jerseymite is one longing to move AWAY from it. SO, I suspect that I should be saddled with that moniker, Jerseymite.

Of course, given the state I'm in, in the State I'm in, we call people from Jersey all sorts of things, certain to draw the "wrath of Pete" should I list them...

If that is the case, wouldn't be like the black bear calling the black bear a black bear now would it?

Now my comments on Ursus Americanus were meant as support for all of you ******* ********(edited by Pete) who struggle with the problem of too many of them in your state. We don't have that problem in my neck of the woods. By the way, your problem isn't that you have too many bears, it's the fact that you have too many WITNESSES , but I digress...

I'm just hopin' for the sake of your **** ****** children, pets and bird feeders that you will soon be seein' a drop in their numbers(and I'm not talkin' about them retreating to their dens to hibernate(do they in Jersey).

P.S.
Why would any self respecting resident of NJ want to admit for ONE SECOND even the possibility of my being the fruit of it's garden?

Ralph,(where've you been, by the way?)

When you say "monkey wrench" are you thinking that it will be thrown by the PETAnuts or will it be some other "concerned" group? OR, of course, will it be an "inside job" orchestrated by one of your **** **** politicians?

A lot of educated people on this forum. I enjoyed the read.

Thanks to everyone for their support. We won the battle but not the war. We have a lot to do and I will keep njflyfishing up to date with issues that face us all.
