I agree that hunting NJ is getting to be a real expensive joke! My out of state friends think that we are nuts when I tell them hunting starts in early Sept and ends in March! For the amount of $$ we pay in licenses and permits, we should have more quality. How can the state encourage the deer slaughter every year? Will it ever stop--probably not as long as the Insurance industry and farmers keep complaining about too many deer and more/more land gets developed or put out of limits to hunters. Also, I am one guy and my wife and daughter do not eat venison so how can I shoot all of these does?

I have written many emails to F&G but they politely respond that they are "working" on improving the deer herd. All I can say is join hunting organizations and keep pounding away. The most drastic measure would be for a 1 year boycott on hunting licenses--would that ever work?

Oh well---just more venting on the NJ deer regs. Do you think that the council reads these posts?

See ya and hang in there guys.
