New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife (NJDFW) uses an integrated approach via a Comprehensive Black Bear Management Policy (CBBMP) to manage black bears that includes research, education, enforcement of intentional/unintentional feeding ban, aversive conditioning, lethal control of Category I bears, and a regulated bear hunting season. The CBBMP is used to manage bears at a level commensurate with available habitat and consistent with a reduced risk to public safety and property. The land-based framework used for informing and implementing the CBBMP, Bear Management Zones (BMZs), are delineated by major and minor roads and waterways and were designated with consideration of habitat quality. The Division, under authority of the Fish and Game Council, designates these boundaries, and they are updated on an as-needed basis. Included for reference are the county and township data. From a population of fewer than 100 in the 1970s, the black bear population has rebounded through appropriate management. The highest densities of bears are found in the northwest part of New Jersey, though over time, the black bear population has expanded south and east, resulting in sightings in all 21 counties. The CBBMP is used to manage bears at a level commensurate with available habitat and consistent with a reduced risk to public safety and property. Black bears have great value to the people of the state and are photographed, watched, and hunted in New Jersey.

NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife (DFW) manages deer herd in New Jersey through the use of deer management zones (DMZ). The Division, under authority of the Fish and Game Council designates these boundaries. Deer Management Zone boundaries are comprised of major and minor roads, waterways and geographic formations. Included for references are the county and township data. DMZs are updated on an as needed basis. New Jersey's deer herd is a major component of the landscape throughout all but the most urbanized areas of the state. Deer affect our forests, farms, gardens, backyards and roadways. From a population reduced to a handful of deer in the early 1900s they rebounded during the 20th Century to a thriving herd today. A healthy deer herd, managed at levels that are compatible with current land use practices and the human population, has great value to the people of the state. Deer are photographed, watched and hunted by many in New Jersey and visitors from elsewhere. Deer hunters spend more than 100 million dollars each year as they enjoy approximately 1.5 million recreation-days hunting deer. Money spent in the course of deer hunting benefits a wide variety of New Jersey businesses.
