New Jersey Outdoor Alliance Formed To Counter Political Wildlife Management

A new political action committee has formed in New Jersey called the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance. Their function is simple really as they state on their website.

The mission of the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance, is to advance and defend hunting, fishing, and trapping in New Jersey. We will enhance and protect New Jersey’s outdoor heritage. The N.J.O.A. will unite and mobilize outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen to further the practice of scientific management of fish and wildlife. We will guard against legal and legislative assaults on hunting, fishing, and trapping. The N.J.O.A. will support those legislators, and the advancement of legislation, that endorse or promote the outdoor experience.

First up for the Alliance will be to counter the efforts of a handful of politicians who want to dismantle the structure of the Fish and Game department and infiltrate it full of politicos while ousting the wildlife biologists. Read more about that here.

Tony Mauro is chairman of the NJOA. He explains things best here.

The encroachment of politics into New Jersey’s fish and wildlife policies has compromised the integrity of our natural resources. Questionable practices have contributed to the overabundance of Canada geese, deer, black bears, and coyotes – this has led to an imbalance in the state’s ecology. In response to these developments, and to ensure proper stewardship of our state’s flora and fauna, the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance (NJOA) was established.

NJOA is a political action group which means they intend to fight back to save hunting, fishing and trapping by sponsoring legislators who support and promote the same values regardless of which side of the fence they sit on. That’s called non-partisan.

This could be very good for New Jersey sportsmen. I sure hope that those leading this effort do understand what they claim.
