Additional Information
Read a sampling of wildlife on the hit list of the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife NJDFW).
Instead of using 21st-century means of handling conflicts with wildlife, the NJDFW promotes antiquated attitudes towards wildlife, with killing being the default. But most New Jerseyans look for nonlethal means of dealing with conflicts. They are tired of the inhumane and ineffectual killing.
New Jersey only has 17 days a year when some animals are not hunted. On the 348 other days, deer, bear, turkey, geese, opossums, coots, coyotes, deer, turkeys, groundhogs, squirrels, ducks, rabbits, bears, and numerous other species are all in the crosshairs of hunters.
