Hunting and Fishing in NJ - A forum for NJ Hunters and NJ Anglers

I was reading someones post and they said he was talking to a CO . He said we will be able to use them in N.J . Did anyone else hear any thing?

Havnt heard anything about it, but that would be sweet

As far the regs go, 22's can be used (except in wildlife
management areas) but you need a rifle permit along with a gun license.
From the game regs-
Rifles, .22 caliber
A valid rifle permit must be possessed while hunting with a .22 caliber rifle.
It is unlawful to possess and use .22 caliber rifle except while hunting
woodchuck, (no rifle hunting on wildlife management areas) hunting raccoon and
opossum with hounds, and dispatching trapped animals other than muskrat.
A .22 caliber rifle must be loaded with short cartridges only, except when
hunting woodchuck.
A .22 caliber rifle need not be plugged, but may be loaded with no
more than three shells. No 10-17 year olds may hunt with any rimfire or centerfire rifle.

That is correct. I have been out with my 22 a few times on the farm for tree rats.

BAD PEOPLE NONE APPLIED.
