Hunting And Fishing to end in New Jersey?

[know1]

Good thing that I don't have any plans to fish in NJ! ;-)

The move to politicize the Game Board is a bad one, sure to hurt hunting and fishing interests in the state. But it's definitely an overstatement to say that fishing "may end in New Jersey." The state is 150 miles long, with 130 miles of Atlantic coastline, and a lot of hardcore fishermen. No way it's going to end. They're just going to put in place a bunch of ridiculous regulations. That IS bad, but not the end of the world.

New Jersey is a blue State.. they can and will pass laws to halt all hunting AND FISHING.. The Governor is a supporter of HSUS and PTA. Have you not seen FishingHurts? They even targeted this site for ads at one point. The idea that a Governors Order stopping all fishing both fresh and saltwater is not possible is naive. It can end.. believing that "Hard Core" fishermen will stop such a move if the Governor takes over the Commission is unrealistic. This governor ignores science and economics. These people do not care about economic effects. Hard Core Bear hunters lost in court and in the State Legislature.
