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

im tried of passing small bucks up in bow season or not taking a less than good shot at a big one . then comes gun season and if its got one horn three inches long its getting shot at. dont belive me just ask any body who hunts lower delaware twp ship.granted most of the shooting came from a club who drives all day and shoots at anything and i do mean anything.then they wonder why there are no bombers around . pa went to it and one year they had to suffer but now they have big bucks. i have plenty of unused buck tags if i need meat i shoot a doe not button buck. if i can suck it up so can other people . i pay a lot to hunt but i choose to . Am i happy, no but i do it ,why should a few gun hunters be able to get to bucks within a week and it is a lot easier than bow hunting . we all now people who drive deer thats not hunting thats killing.ps there are a couple nice ones that might make it thanks to hendersons, locals will know what i mean.

Welcome to the Site

they should make it state wide but until then brown is down. if i pass someone else will take it

Exactly, it needs to be statewide...I live in a 3 point or better zone and I hear speculation about people taking smaller ones, drive them down the street ten miles and check them in a different zone. I personally choose to abide by the rule and so does everyone I know who hunts here but it seems really up the hunters discretion, until this is state wide I do not see how it can be enforced.
