Well, with 2 posts, thats the way to jump on the bandwagon !. This area you refer to is in Wildlife management Unit J1. The season for bear in this area is from Sept 21 thru Nov 10th. So if they are not shooting the bear at night, than it is perfectly LEGAL. It does sound to me like you are a TREE HUGGER and I am willing to bet you are not from around this area. Bear hunting has been going on for more years then you have been on this earth. It is a constituational right of individuals in the GREAT STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. No-- I do not hunt, but I used to quite intensely, however now I spend more time on the lakes fishing. But if its legal, and you don't like it, MOVE !. Spend more of your timing worrying about illegal aliens and all the money this country is wasting on them, when we can't even feed all of the americans in the country. The bears have always taken care of themselves, start checking some Green Cards! I doubt Fish and game will have anything to say about it
