During the "Ask Governor Murphy" program, the state's top lawmaker argued that statistics and safety were at the front of his mind when he decided to allow the Fish & Game Council to vote on reviving the hunt.
"There are a lot of considerations to something like this, number one is keeping people alive - particularly our kids," the governor argued.
He says the statistics "don't lie, sadly, in terms of the amount of incidents of human interactions. It's up dramatically."
