For the price of my license and a doe permit for zone 8 I am able to take with a shotgun 88 doe and 2 bucks....I also get to hunt rabbits, squirrel, crow, grouse, non-stocked pheasant, fox, coyote, woodcock, Opossum, Groundhog and Raccoon.....Not bad for a $27.50 license and a $28.00 doe permit....I can put plenty of meat in the freezer for that amount!!!!!
It may cost more to live and hunt here in NJ but the money here to be made is second to none!!!! NJ is loaded with money and loaded with people spending it!!!! I couldn't come close to making the money I make in most of these other places.....
The way I see it If I wasn't spending this money on hunting I would be spending it on something else to pass the time....To me there is no better pass time or any better way to spend my money!!! Thats why I buy all the stamps and permits for all the other game I like to hunt...I would gladly pay more if it will help keep hunting and fishing alive and well in NJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
