(Dec. 7) -- The thousands of hunters who set off into the woods of northern New Jersey for the six-day black bear hunt bagged 264 of the bruins on the first day.
Monday's tally was the highest one-day take in the seven years of the hunt, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported. The last hunt was in 2005.
The hunt is aimed at slowing the growing bear population, as the animals have moved in closer to neighborhoods, sometimes preying on livestock and searching for garbage. There's been one reported attack on a person during the first half of the year, the state said.
Opponents, who lost a court bid to stop the hunt, showed up at two weighing stations, some shouting, "Go home, murderers."
There was one arrest when a protester reportedly refused orders to stay in a defined demonstration area, The Star-Ledger reported. "We have to respect their right to live," protester Bill Craine of New York said as he was handcuffed.
