Trock, it sounds like some folks have their britches in a bunch so let me ask you some straight questions and hopefully we can dispell some of these harsh feelings and accusations and get along with the congrats again. I hunt in NJ so I know the laws there. For those that don't I will lay out the general regualtions. Each individual season is "earn a buck" meaning you need to shoot and register an antlerless deer prior to taking an antlered deer which in some areas are restricted to 3 points a side or more (which your buck definitely falls into). I'm not sure if your zone falls into antler restriction so I won't even touch that. The permit season started Saturday October 26 meaning a doe would need to be shot and registered that day or Monday morning so you could get your "any deer" transportation tag since in NJ hunting is not allowed on Sunday.

Did you shoot an antlerless deer on Saturday the 26th or in the Morning of Monday the 28th prior to shooting that buck?

Let's get an answer so we can get on to more important things. Thanks.
