with a bear hunt in New Jersey,” said Bud Pidgeon, USSAF

First Bear Hunt in Five Years to Commence in December.
In 2006, Lisa Jackson, the former DEP Commissioner and now head of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, cancelled the state’s bear
hunt. In response to this action, the USSAF, along with Safari Club
International and the New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs
filed a lawsuit against the state to challenge the former Commissioner’s
decision to stop the bear hunt.
The USSAF and others argued that the hunt was adopted based upon
recommendations made by wildlife professionals. Sportsmen also argued
that Jackson and then Governor Jon Corzine, who indicated publicly that
he opposed bear hunting, stopped the hunt because it went against their
U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance political beliefs, not because of scientific reasoning.

AMMOLAND.COM For the record, here is what the Sierra Club New Jersey Chapter had to
say in reaction to an announcement—long awaited by hunters—that New

hunting season.

The Sierra Club opposes the bear hunt and will continue to
fight for a strong bear management plan that actually
works. The public agrees. The public comments against the
hunt were overwhelmingly against it. ” [Note: though
unconfirmed AmmoLand has been told that support for
hunting was over whelming compared to the small vocal
minority of animal rights supporters]
The full press release is here.

http://newjersey.sierraclub.org/PressReleases/0171.asp
Call me crazy but that does not sound pro-hunting. And I do not think
that educational information about bear-proofing your garbage needs
any significant funding. Such advice is all over the Internet, or you could
even pick up the phone and call the game and fish department.

in New Jersey... be conservation officers because they—and the police—are too busy
answering bear nuisance complaints, coaxing bears off porches and away
from school bus stops, and dragging road-killed bears off the highways.
As for management plans “that actually work,” Sierra Club NJ might do

well look at nearby states like New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia – all of which have bear hunting seasons– and
compare the rate of bear nuisance complaints, not to mention the overall
health of the bear populations in those states.
Hunting in those states has kept bears within their carrying capacity,
whereas in New Jersey, bears are fast outpacing theirs.

Schrade Knives
Kingsport, TN -(Ammoland.com)- Imperial Schrade (a division of

Taylor Brands LLC) has recently released the Dura-Edge and Advant-
Edge Sharpening systems, perfectly honed designs for enthusiasts and
sportsmen.
Both kits feature different grits of sharpening stones which will allow
knife users, enthusiasts and sportsmen to put a razor edge on all of their
various knives. With our patented honing guides you can choose what
angle that you wish to sharpen your knives with, and then have
guaranteed repeatability during the sharpening process. SureFire MICRO Suppressors
Both sharpening kits come in a durable pocketed canvas tote designed

for easy convenient roll up and storage.
The Dura-Edge can be operated either hand-held or it may be mounted

on a bench. The Advant-Edge can also be operated hand-held or by
simply placing it on a flat surface.
Company President Morgan Taylor says, “Our goal on these SureFire Tactical Lights

This is SureFire’s philosophy of Total Signature Reduction™. Contrary to
existing suppressor models, which typically degrade performance of a 1-2
MOA (Minute of Angle) rifle to 3-4 MOA—sometimes as much as 8
MOA, SureFire suppressors typically improve grouping sizes.
Most suppressors also cause a shift in a weapon’s point-of-zero when

attached or detached. But under fire, an operator seldom has the time to
re-zero his weapon after attaching a suppressor. With a SureFire
Suppressor, there is no need to re-zero the weapon. Its Fast-Attach
mechanism locks the suppressor onto the firearm in the same position
every time, producing a negligible, repeatable point-of-impact shift.
And SureFire Suppressors are as durable as the barrels they’re mounted

on, making fulltime suppressor use not only probable but practical. All Olympic biathletes Tracy & Lanny Barnes-
