RE: NJ DEER ZONE # 4
Bowhuntercop,
I used to hunt the river side of Zone #4 around the seven mile marker from the last exit on 80. Take the river road north and you will come to an old schoolhouse. This is a good area. There is agriculture to the left and the mountainside has a lot of old meadows and orchards. There are numerous saddles and benches throughout. Lots of oaks. I have been very deep in these woods and have seen several big bucks and their sign. It can be quite a hike back in there to the last bench before the bluffs.
I took my fair share of deer here. Its a matter of exploring! I only ever bowhunted here and many times was the only hunter in the woods. There is a parking spot on the right before the school that has a road that leads up to the old homesteads and beyond. Good Luck!
Your post brought back many memories.
