Thats all great Trock but at the bottom of regulation#6 it say's "Reminder: Hunters must have a valid BUCK STUB whenever
taking an antlered deer. Earn-A-Buck requirement ends after
Dec. 14, 2002. Use the 2002 buck stub for permit shotgun and
permit muzzleloader seasons which continue into January and
February 2003. For the 2003 winter bow season, use the 2003
winter bow buck stub. " I recieved an e-mail back from fgw and accrording to them area's falling under regulation #6 are eab and that unless other wise stated the season weather it is permit bow or bow season falls under this regulation. So that means in your area eab is over Dec. 14 I never seen any thing in regulation 6 about permit bow season not being eab. Then again maybe the state of NJ. is interpreting their law wrong?
