RE: UNLIMITED ANTLERLESS HUNTING GONE TO FAR IN NJ?
I hunt the southern co's of NJ and I have seen a drop off in deer seen in the field the past couple of seasons. But, my father and I still see plenty around. All of this is public land.
I believe QDM regs need to be maintained to let the bucks mature, but I also agree that after the last 2 years of unlimited doe harvest must be stopped.
I will write NJ F & G and basically support BHCop's season recommedntaion with the addition of a 3 pt a side restriction on antlered deer. Back to the 'good old days' with a twist of the present would be best for NJ's deer. Just my opinion.
Any day spent huntin, is better than any day spent workin,,
