New Jersey Bear Hunt

The New Jersey bear hunting season, originally set to begin on December 5th, is on pause due to an emergency stay by an appellate judge. Governor Phil Murphy reinstated the bear hunt last month after a 237% increase in bear-related incidents this year. Tennyson Donyéa, New Jersey Statehouse reporter at WHYY, discusses the controversial bear hunt as NJ callers discuss encounters with their big, furry neighbors.
