Anglers, your help is requested.
Today is "Fax the Governor Day."
HSUS has apparently taken out a full page ad in the Trenton Times telling the Governor to veto the Sunday Bow hunting bill.
Fight back! It's "Fax the Governor Day." Copy paste and fax the below letter:
Fax #609-292-3454
The Honorable Jon S. Corzine
Governor, State of New Jersey
Office of the Governor
PO Box 001
Trenton, NJ 08625
Re: Bill A1669 / S802
Sunday Bow Hunting
Dear Governor Corzine:
The above legislation now awaits your signature and its passage is extremely important to me. As a conservationist I am committed to responsible stewardship of our state’s natural resources and Sunday Bow Hunting helps in this endeavor.
The bill will ensure better manage New Jersey’s deer overpopulation. Every lifeless roadside deer is the result of a car accident, an accident that caused financial loss and perhaps personal injury or death.
The bill will help reduce agriculture losses due to deer feeding currently estimated to be 20% per year, reduce residential landscape damage and the transmission of Lyme disease. Sunday bow hunting will help to boost New Jersey’s hunting license revenue, aid the state’s ailing economy by drawing non-resident dollars, repeal an antiquated blue law and bring New Jersey in line with 43 states that currently allow bow hunting on Sundays.
The bill restricts bow hunting to private property and Wildlife Management Areas only. WMAs were originally purchased entirely from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses and operational funding is still provided entirely by hunters and anglers. Sunday bow only amounts to 14 days per year but is of great value to people currently obligated to family and work responsibilities.
Governor Corzine, I am one of 650,000 New Jerseyans who hunt, fish and vote. I ask that you sign the Sunday Bow hunting bill into law.
Sincerely,
-
Done! I hope it helps. <'((((><

I saw the ad this morning. What a bunch of inconsiderate people they are. They have the woods all year long and refuse to share with sportsmen who have access on a limited basis as it is.

Let's let them know we are here and will not allow them to dictate our lives.

I agree, FAX SENT...
When you do send your fax make sure your machine is on resend mode as it took nearly 30 minutes for my fax to go threw.
We have to stand firm on this for if we loose an inch it is all over and the antis have won the battle. I know it takes a little effort but come on guys it is the future of our sports here in NJ.
