RE: NJ DEER ZONE # 4
Sounds like Zone 2! We used to see a lot of deer everytime that we went out but with the unlimited doe days and the Jan slaughter, the numbers are way down again. Throw in the farmer permits and I swear that the deer population is less than half what it was in 1994 when I started hunting Zone 2. I am positive that NJ's slaughter regulations are negatively impacting most of NJ and hunters will tell the same throughout the state.
I havent been out yet but my Dad has gone twice and reports limited deer on our lease.
