Default RE: Possible New Regs In NJ?

I think 2 bucks per year would be great. It would definitely increase the number of bucks. Make it 3pts or better on one side, and we're in business. Sure, it'll be abused, but those folks are abusing every law anyway.
Alot of those spikes and Y's will make it through the gun season. A lot of stand hunters will be more selective.
The shoot anything mentality makes me sick too. If a guy is allowed to take 2 bucks and 3 or 4 does, that's plenty. Some areas will be overpopulated, so hunt those zones if you need more deer.
Charging for each additional tag is a tricky business. How about areas where they give out crop depreadation permits? That's the situation in MD where I also hunt, and it's the only game law I break. Why would I buy another nonresident permit for 25$ per deer, when the farmer shoots dozens of deer every summer on the same property? Just a thought. I realize the situation is very different in most areas here.
BTW, I don't only blame these clubs, the state DOES encourage this, this is exactly what they want, a slaughter. Button bucks, hell, what about all the bucks killed with dropped antlers in Jan/Feb? A shame.
