A New Jersey based chapter of SCI

Field to classroom…GSSCI youth committee chairman, Simeon Pecchia is also a middle school science teacher in Pohatcong Twp, Warren County. Sim took a nice whitetail buck a week ago and brought the organs into class for a hands-on science project.
Sim says he brought in the heart and liver for his students to study and they were so into it, they wanted him to bring in lungs and a brain!

It was a busy weekend for the Youth Committee of the Garden State chapter. Saturday was both the final day of r***e classes up at Griffin & Howe and the youth pheasant hunt at Spruce Run WMA. Youth chairman, Sim Pecchia and chapter VP, Sam Nass were on hand to help out with the pheasant hunt and chapter secretary, George Dimitrakakis passed out GSSCI engraved r***e slings at Griffin & Howe.

The youth are the future of our sport and the chapter is committed to doing everything we can to keep them engaged.

367 BEARS WERE TAKEN DURING NEW JERSEY’S SIX-DAY ARCHERY/MUZZLELOADER SEASON.

New Jersey hunters harvested 367 black bears during the first phase of the state’s 2026 bear hunting season, which ran October 12–17. The total was nearly identical to last year’s first phase, when hunters harvested 368 bears.

Sussex County led the state with 178 bears, followed by Warren County with 88 and Morris County with 61. Those three counties accounted for 327 of the bears harvested during the six-day season.

Many activists continue to protest the hunt, but wildlife officials support regulated hunting as a tool for managing the state’s black bear population and reducing human-bear conflicts.
