Hey Dan... You joke about being skerred of the bear...Man and his dog killed in Florida by a black bear... Got to respect them... Makes me question my sanity how much I roam around in some thick out of the way spots putting out bait and cameras... Bump into one with a wild hair up his ass and you are history... And here in Jersey I can't carry... Well they just passed a concealed carry, but you gotta jump through hoops and spend $$$ to get it...
 
Yup, but still the number of black bear encounters to injury incident is extremely rare. It will however probably give us the needed push to get a bear season back in FL. Wouldn't think that there were many but they're thick. Just Eglin Air Force Base covers 640 square miles of land. England borders our town.

You’re right….huge PIA but it’s doable….got mine. Pennsylvania will honor the NJ permit so you need to go to a police station in Pennsylvania and let them make a copy of your NJ permit and they’ll issue you a PA permit.
