I received this earlier this week, please send an email or call! It would be greatly appreciated.



NJFH member,

Please take the time to contact Senator Gopal, who introduced S3611, a bill that would ban trapping for anyone under the age of 18.  You can call him at his office: (732) 695-3371 ; or email him at SenGopal@njleg.org

If you do email him, please bcc the email to njfedtrap@gmail.com.

Thank you for your support, lets do our best to squash this bill!

NJFH Team

Thank you Rob for posting. This bill has been sponsored by the same senator that sponsored S179. Calls and e mails would be a great help to NJ Trappers

You’re welcome Ron.

I will continue to help NJ trappers, we are a brotherhood.

I sent an email tonight and will call tomorrow.

Unbelievable some of the crazy stuff some state legislators propose. My gosh.

Rob, you do a nice job staying on top of things. We need more people like you.

I will call today. Thanks. Unbelievable!

Good job & thanks Delaware Bob

What is bcc ?

And the dems want 16 year olds to vote?

A lot of good comments on there, and majority in favor of keeping trapping! Lets keep the pressure on!

Bcc stands for blind carbon copy, it sends a copy of the email to another recipient without the other one knowing.
You should see a bcc option next to where you enter your normal recipient.

Thank you to all that are calling and sending e mails for the NJ trappers. We have a State 2 day trapping course this week end that is mandator for all new trappers to get a NJ trapping lic and snaring certificate. There seems to be more kids and quite a few family's that have signed up for this course. seems to be a push back from the outdoor community. Good to see families and kids in the class. If they can stop minors from trapping then where will they go next to stop the minors in the outdoor activities. We all know what happens in NJ against the outdoors soon the AR folks try to do it in other states also. So thank you.

Here is the response I received.

Dear Mr.,


Thank you for your e-mail and I recognize the passion you have for this issue. As your representative in the New Jersey Senate, I value your input and I appreciate you taking the time to contact me about bill S3611, which would Change the minimum age for issuance of a trapping license from 12 years to 18 years of age.

As of March 18, bill S3611 has been introduced and referred to the Senate Environment and Energy committee. I will keep the information you’ve provided in mind as I continue to study and monitor this legislation. I have also forwarded your message to my policy advisor.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts about this legislation with me. Please do not hesitate to reach out in the future, should you have any questions or concerns you would like to discuss.


Sincerely,

Senator Vin Gopal

District 11

Delaware Rob I got the same response word for word

I also got the same response word for word.

I guess a form letter response is better than no response! Keep sending them! We need to fight for our brothers and sisters in New Jersey.

Thank You Delaware Rob!!
