In 2020, the black bear population in NJ was estimated to be 5,000 bears with about 3/5ths of those living in the northwest counties. On average, NJ black bears have a maximum life span of 10 years and female bears have 3 cubs per year with a 70% survival rate. In 2020, the Governor went against the guidance from the NJ Department of Environment Protection and stopped regulated bear hunting on public lands and in 2021 he cancelled all hunting of black bear in NJ. How would you expect the black bear population to respond to a total hunting ban? What would happen to the bear population as it reaches carrying capacity? .
