New Jersey's controversial bear hunt will continue today and possibly through the week.

There was a hunt back in October when 370 Bear were harvested statewide.

Most were killed in Sussex, Warren and Morris counties.

This session is known as Segment B and is taking place because state gaming officials say not enough bear were harvested in the first hunt.

If the threshold set to reduce the number of bear in the state is reached during the week, the hunt could end before Saturday.

If not, there will be a third hunt starting on Dec. 17.
