Honorable Assemblyman/woman/Senator So-and-so,

I am writing to ask you to vote YES on A3736/S2475 to allow Sunday Bowhunting for deer on private property or State Wildlife Management Areas.

I am an avid bowhunter and I support this legislation. Sunday bowhunting would double the amount of time that most bowhunters get to spend pursuing our sport. It would spur license sales, and increase out-of-state license revenue as well. Few hunters will take extended hunting trips to a state that won’t let them hunt one day of the week. These out-of-state hunters pay higher license fees that benefit the Division of F&W and also spend even more money on incidentals than in-state hunters. Sunday hunting will bring an economic benefit to many areas. Every day that hunters are in the field, they spend money on gas, food, lodging and the dozens of other incidentals that go along with a day’s hunt. The ripple effect of this spending can have a major impact on a town or county. Bowhunting is quiet, there is no noise associated with bowhunting as compared to other forms of hunting, and private landowners would retain the right to prohibit Sunday bowhunting on their property if they choose to do so.

In closing, I ask that you support A3736/S2475. I look forward to your reply and learning how you plan to vote.

Sincerely,

Your Name

Contact your local Assemblypersons and State Senators<Jersey residents> as well, and request that they support this legislation. Their support will be needed when A3736/S2475 comes up for a full vote in the Assembly. You can find your State Representatives here:
http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/ ... lities.asp

You can use the same letter when contacting your local legislators, just change the bold parts to fit your specifics. Change the wording around some so that they aren't receiving the same exact letters. You are by no means limited to this letter, and should feel free to write your own if you choose to.

Done did it.

Gene,

The Sunday Bowhunting Bill has gone farther than any Sunday Hunting Bill in
New Jersey ever has! A3736 the assembly bill passed out of the Assembly
Agriculture and Resource Committee by a 4-0 vote and awaits a vote by the full
Assembly. S2475 the Senate Version passed 3-0 out of the Enviroment Committee
and awaits a vote by the Senate. The Assembly bill just recieved a shot in the
arm, when Assemblyman Van Drew agreed to become a primary sponsor. United
Bowhunters of New Jersey is leading the charge, but the Bill is also supported
by several Outdoor Organizations and 29 local unions in the state of New
Jersey. Bradley Campbell, the State's DEP Commissioner has sent letters of support
to both committees. We are looking to make a major push when the legislature
gets back in session this fall!

Thanks
Jack Spoto
President
UBNJ

Jeff Van Drew is a good honest man, he is definitely pro hunting, and fishing! He has helped my commercial fishing friends in Cape May county before!

That he is ,when I spoke to his secratary,I was assured of his position and support on this matter.

I need an update on this.the jersey bill search shows no recent records

ANYTHING?
