RE: I think there is too many deer
To many deer in NJ? Son not sure how long you have been hunting here in NJ, but the deer herd is hurting in NJ. There was a time when I would see 50 or more deer per day with quality bucks, now I may see 10 per day and still see the same quality of bucks.The state allows for the unlimited harvest of antlerless deer since 1997 or so. They need to cut back this program, they need to stop any type of deer hunting with a firearm after the new year, and there should be no deer hunting after Jan. 31st They also need 3 points to aside statewide. Long hunting seasons are stressful to the herd, allowing antlerless harvest isn't good, who knows how many button bucks got harvested since 1997, that could of been nice bucks within a few years. They should allow 2 or maybe 3 bucks per year per hunter with 3 points to oneside, and 3 antlerless deer per year per hunter, and if any hunter who harvest a button buck must give up there buck tag.
