Q:
On the third day of the NJ bear hunt, a State Policeman dressed up in orange hunting clothing, carried a loaded shotgun, wore his hunting license on his back, and walked beside my brother and his son-in-law who were harassed for two days by animal rights protesters. The same five bambi lovers followed the three hunters into the woods. The undercover cop took notes and took photos with his camera of the five harassers. He witness everything and wrote down their comments for an hour and half. It was a sting operation involving state police, NJ conservation officers and the local municipal police who were waiting for the undercover cop to call them in. One of the bambi lovers told the three hunters that he was going to get his Arab friends to go to their homes and hunt them. The state cop said "that is a terrorictic threat, you all under arrest and I am a State policeman". He showed them his badge. He got on his walkie talkie and said come and get them. The policeman grab the man protester who made the threat and he started to pull away from the undercover cop. The state cop said if you resist I will charge you with resisting arrest.
The other four protesters ran away like scared cowards. My brother said should we each help and grab a protesters. The policeman said no, there law enforcement all over the woods. Four protesters walked out of the woods wearing handcuffs that day. One did get away. The leader of the animal rights group looked right at my brother and said "you set us up".
The municipal Judge found them all guilty of hunter harassment, resisting arrest and stalking. The leader Angie Metler got forty days in jail because she was guilty on two other animal rights offensives. They each received large fines. The story made all the newspapers in north Jersey and lower New York. The bambi lovers stopped harassing hunters in the New Jersey woods.
New Jersey now has case law on the books for hunter harassment, thanks to my brother and his ex son-in-law for going to court and being a witness for the state. My question is, what do you think of justice now, in the New Jersey mountains?

Quite a few states have laws against harassing both hunters and wildlife.
They deserve a standing ovation.
Good for the NJ State Police. Well done.
Very well done!
NJ has mountains?
WA Mtnhunter, your correct compare to the Rockies and the Big Horn Mountains out west, we have hills back east.
Glad to hear a success story.
WAM our mountains are hills by comparison, but many would be no easy feat to bushwhack up in a hunting situation. Trust me, I've tried!
That gives me hope that justice can be served.
Justice served there for the hunters! However justice for murders, rapists, and pedophiles is majorly lacking! Good day for NJ hunters non the less.
That story just made my day.
That's awsome!
I'm delighted to read this. I marvel at the ignorance of those presumably well-intended people who completely overlook the role of hunting as an instrument of game management.
That is the only way we can win this fight is to all get involved. Your brother is a hero in my book.
Well Done my man he is a true hero.
Bravo! Well done. I am all in favor of people having whatever opinion they want but they have to act responsibly and legally in bringing about change. Harassing hunters is illegal in most states and should be illegal in all of them. My complements to the local law enforcement team and the volunteers. Made my day too!
