Two Camden County Hunters from Atco, New Jersey step up and helped law enforcement do a sting operation against five animal rights activists in the forest of Sussex County, New Jersey back in December 2005. The Municipal Judge found the Activists Guilty in 2006. The Superior court upheld the conviction and the third and final appeal went to the State Appellate Court. Below is the story. What is amazing is two bear hunters from Camden County had to come forward and assist Law Enforcement to bring justice to the forest in Sussex County. Others hunters from the northern part of the state did not want to get involved. Bill and Jon drove three hours each time to honor the subpeona for court. This is a major case for the New Jersey Hunter Harassment law. It\’s now case law. The bear hunt issue goes all the way to the Governor for stopping the bear hunt since 2005.

In December of 2005, two members of my family were harassed,stalked and threaten in the woods of New Jersey and the story was in all the north Jersey newspapers and on television news in New York and in New Jersey. The state law enforcement didn\’t want their names of the Camden County hunters printed in the news do to the threats issued against them by the activists.
