The fate of this year's black bear hunt is now in the hands of a three-judge appeals panel.
An attorney for a pair of animal protection groups argued Tuesday before an appeals court in Trenton for the cancellation of this year's planned six-day black bear hunt, which is slated to begin Monday, on the grounds that the state Department of Environmental Protection's 2010 Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy is flawed. The groups also want the policy declared invalid.
